This painted silk banner was created to make 'wrathful offerings' (kangdze) to Vajrabhairava. Although the deity is absent from the composition, the subject can be identified by the array of wrathful implements and attire unique to Vajrabhairava displayed on the left-hand side. Various offerings, including a central torma cake, are laid out below. On the right-hand side are various auspicious objects and a host of animals featured below a row of suspended animal skins and entrails. For more information about kangdze offering paintings, see HAR set no. 4490.
