this is The Fire-God Agni and the Yaksha General Anila. This painting is combined two styles, tibetan and sophisticated Chinese embroidery. it looks red as it is painting of the fire god. he sits on the flower as usual as we find it from other buddhism artifacts. i could feel the difference between this and other buddhism artifacts that i usually saw. the Buddhism artifacts that i saw before were most likely influenced by Chinese culture. it was unique painting to me.
