Guru Dragpo Votive Plaque, in the shape of a lotus petal
Artist
Artist Unknown, Tibet or Nepal
Physical Description
A bas-relief carving made of bone and in the shape of a lotus petal, depicting a wrathful guardian of the Tibetan Buddhist faith.

The background behind Vajrapani is incised with closely spaced wavy lines, again suggesting flames.
