Description: bronze firegilt , Mongolia , 18th century Zanabazar , Size: 17 cm This armoured god of protection, whose name Beg-tse means "concealed coat of mail" is brandishing a sword with his right hand while his left holds a bow and arrow and a lance with a triangular pennant. The backside of the sword might have been in scorpion shape. Begtse’s face bears an extremely wrathful expression, including features that compare well to eighteenth-century central-Tibetan paintings of this deity. However, the facial features, stylized hair, and strong relationship to the region, all suggest that this sculpture is Mongolian in origin. compare: "The Mongols" page 94 and 95
