This 14th-century Tibetan thangka, "Mandala of Raktayamari," by Mikyo Dorje, is a vibrant depiction of the deity Raktayamari. The central square represents a palace, and the intricate circular frame surrounding it is a mandala, symbolizing the universe. This complex and colorful artwork, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the stylistic and spiritual richness of Tibetan Buddhist art.
