Image description

Yamantaka is a violent aspect of the Bodhisattva Manjushri, who assumes this form to vanquish Yama, the god of death, breaking the cycle of rebirths (samsara) that prevent enlightenment . Yamantaka shares many attributes with Mahakala, but is identified by his blue skin. He is encircled by five smaller manifestations, each a Yama-conqueror riding a buffalo. An inscription on the reverse indicates the work was commissioned in honor of the donor’s lama.
