This male figure, a prominent form of a tantric Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism, is four-armed and probably once held a vajra and bell in his crossed hands. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Octagon, Spink & Son Ltd. vol XXII.2, June 1985. page number: p. 10 url: Turner, Evan H. “The Year in Review for 1985.” The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art, vol. 73, no. 2, 1986, pp. 26–71. page number: Mentioned: p. 71, no. 220; Reproduced: p. 42 url: www.jstor.org/stable/25159930 Bunker, Emma C., and Douglas Latchford.
