The dark body contrasts sharply with the fiery mandorla and multi-coloured clouds rendered in the upper register. Presented within its original silk brocade mounting of golden ochre tones with woven floral and auspicious emblems. The composition is characteristic of the Tibetan monastic workshop tradition, combining strong linework with rich iconographic detailing.
