It depicts Yamantaka, also known as Vajrabhairava, who is a wrathful manifestation of Manjusri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, and in other contexts he also functions as a dharmapala, or 'Dharma-protector'. The buffalo head deity Vajrabhairava is one of the three principal meditation deities of the Gelug School. He is shown with nine faces in the Yab Yum form with his consort Vajravetali, the wrathful form of Saraswati. They are decorated with rings of skulls, and further elaborately surrounded by a halo of flames and other deities and Buddhas. Presented in a gilt wood frame. The measurement of the thangka itself is 26.75" by 37". See less
