The painting depicting the red bodied Vajravarahi, the Diamond Sow, distinguishable by the small boar’s head protruding from her hair. Vajravarahi in all her manifestations is an important deity for tantric initiation, especially for new initiates. Naked save for her skull diadem and a gold jewellery, a celestial scarf billowing about her, Vajravarahi dances in the ardhaparyanka posture, balancing her left foot on the orb of the sun above a lotus. She brandishes a diamond chopper in her right hand while holding a blood-filled skull cup in her left. A small inscription to the reverse.
