The central figure is immediately surrounded by retinue figures with Kalachakra (upper right), Vajrabhairava (lower right), Chakrasamvara (lower left) and blue Hevajra (upper left). In the far left column are Indian Mahasiddhas and the bottom center are protector deities. The rest of the outer registers are filled with lineage teachers, starting at upper left and proceeding clockwise. This lineage shows the Karma Kagyu tradition and includes the Fifth Karmapa, Deshin Shegpa who lived from 1384-1415; hence the dating of this painting.
Vajrayogini is the representation of complete Buddhahood in the female form, and represents wisdom in the Chakrasamvara cycle of tantras; see lots 260 and 268 for examples of these mandalas where Chakrasamvara represents compassion.
