PANEL3 : Code 06Pan7
2 Painted Wooden Panels
Kham, Eastern Tibet
Early 20th Century
length 40cm
height 71 cm

On each of these two panels are two divinities of the Bardo. Each figure has an animal head, dancing wildly and wielding death-defying implements. The cinnabar red background, in the shape of a diamond, is defined by diamond and triangle shapes of golden scrolls of raised gesso, know as kyung bur in Tibetan.
