Guhyasamaja Masterworks - Updated

Guhyasamaja is one of the important and popular deity figures in Tantric Buddhist art. He is represented in three different forms and with paintings can generally be differentiated quite easily by colour: Akshobhyavajra (blue), Manjuvajra (orange) and Avalokita (red). The selection of objects included amongst the masterworks are drawn from paintings, murals, sculpture, mandalas and a very fine textile image from China.
