尼泊爾?十三/十四世紀?漆金彩繪守護佛母木質飾板??The panel depicts one of the Pancha Raksha Goddesses, or "Five Protectors". Each goddess personifies a sacred mantra that promotes the reciter's welfare and happiness. There are countless variations in how the Pancha Raksha are depicted; here, the goddess has the body of an ogre with six arms and three heads, the primary head consuming a snake, symbolizing her transmogrification of physical and spiritual poisons.??This panel belongs to a well-known group dispersed throughout several institutions and private collections, the most significant found within the David R. Nalin Collection, published in Kerin, Artful Beneficence, New York, 2009, pp.74-9, cat. nos.41-42e. Most panels portray a single deity framed by elaborate foliate scrolls similar to this, and several depict Pancha Raksha Godesses.
