Item: Vajrasattva (Buddhist Deity) - White (solitary)

Vajrasattva, Solitary Form, holding a vajra scepter and bell.

The arm postures and the hand objects are reversed in this image of Vajrasattva. He should be holding the vajra in his proper right hand and the bell in the left. Note how the two legs are in a correct vajra posture with the right leg over left. Either the digital image was reversed or the pattern for the creation of the textile was reversed. Or, the image was created with incorrect iconography because nothing explains why the hands would be incorrect and the legs correct and vice versa.
