Masterworks: Twelve Yaksha Generals - Added

A Twelve Yaksha Generals Page has been added to the Masterworks Main Page. The Twelve Generals make up part of the Fifty-one Deity Mandala of Medicine Buddha. Each of the generals holds a unique attribute in their right hand and a mongoose in the left hand. Because of the general look, expression and attire which is known as King Appearance in Himalayan Style Art it is very common for the individual figures of the Generals to be miss-identified as either Vaishravana, Jambhala or the very elusive Kubera.
