拍品专文

The Vajravali is a compendium of the most important tantric mandalas, meditations and initiations that were written down by Acharya Abhayakaragupta in the 11th century. The present and following paintings come from the same set of paintings of the Vajravali, of which a third painting is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (Acc. No. IS.167-1964).
