    These four panels show a very colourful rendition of the Four Kings of the Four Direction. Interestingly, the Guardians in the two panels below are not seated on tiger or leopard skins but rather a deer or bear skin. The colour stripes above each King is a personal touch of the artist or a specific request by the monastery or owner of the chapel.
