The masterpiece of Tibetan nagthang or black-ground painting portrays rare forms of the Buddhist Protector according to the root text and system of the Mahakala Tantraraja Nama, in the tradition of Abhayakara Gupta (d. 1125), tantric master and abbot of Vikramashila monastery in Bihar, see Jeff Watt, Himalayan Art Resources item no. 35976. No other example is known from this period.

The thangka is painted with consummate skill in the expression of wrath, ferocious movement and the three-dimensionality and weight of the central figures. The tiger skin aprons are rendered with well observed delicacy. Careful preparation of the canvas and the use of finely ground pigments have insured the lasting suppleness of the support and adherence of the pigment, resulting in the exceptional condition of the work. The thangka is mounted in Chinese brocades with a pleated valance and veils of multi-coloured streamers, in the manner favoured in Tibet for secret esoteric images.
