Item: Mahottara Heruka (Buddhist Deity) - (9 Faces)

Mahottara Heruka (Tibetan: trag tung). Wrathful, blue-black, with nine heads and eighteen hands, he embraces the consort; standing on a sun disc and lotus seat encircled by orange flames. Eight retinue deities surround the central figure and three protectors stand at the bottom center. At the top, in a sphere of light, is the primordial Buddha Vajradhara with various Nyingma lineage lamas sitting at the sides.
