Notes about the Central Figure
Classification: Object/Concept
Wrathful Deity: dark blue in colour with one face and two hands. The right hand holds aloft a golden vajra scepter and the left is placed at the heart. A human skin is draped across the back and he stands atop a corpse seat. This image is from a set of 'tsagli' initiation cards.
