Hang away from direct sun and heaters. Roll from the bottom, painting side in. Never fold. Dust with a soft dry brush; never use water on the painted surface.
Why this one
Six-armed Mahakala, the wrathful protector who is the fierce form of Chenrezig, blue-black with three eyes and a crown of five skulls, standing in a blaze of flame. His six hands hold the curved knife and skull cup at his heart, with the drum, trident, lasso and rosary spread to either side. He tramples a white elephant-headed figure, the obstacle overcome. A dragon twists through the clouds above.
A principal protector across the Tibetan traditions. Black-and-gold style with the blue figure and flames dominating the canvas.
Painted on a single cotton canvas, unmounted. Ships rolled in a rigid tube from Sydney, or we can arrange a silk brocade mount.
