Footnotes

十九世紀 密集金剛唐卡

Guhyasamaja is in blue seated in the vajra position with his consort on his lap, surrounded by various deities. The blue deity has three faces and six hands, and a peaceful but slightly fierce expression. At the top centre is a Gelug teacher identifiable by his yellow hat. It is possible that it is Tsongkapa. See a related thangka of Guhyasamaja, 19th century, in the Rubin Museum of Art (acc.no.P2001.3.3), published on Himalayan Art Resources (item no.1017).
