His presence guards the sacred terma or treasure teachings of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. Over a rocky base, he rides astride a donkey and holds in his left hand a human heart, bearing his fangs and furrowing his brow in a guise meant to terrify all obstructing forces. Compare to another cast of the deity in the American Museum of Natural History (acc. no. 70.0/7474). For another example of the subject from the same period, see HAR 21638.Provenance:Precious Treasure, UK, 2000s
