before him. Above Milarepa’s head we see his teacher Marpa
as well as Vajradhara in clouds, framed by other deities and
a red-colored Krodha head. To his lower left and right the
two main disciples of Milarepa are depicted – Rechungpa
and Gampopa.

The painting is framed by a segmented, woven broad
brocade border in various colors with flowers, dragons and
longevity symbols. Inscriptions to backside.
