This antique Tibetan thangka depicts two forms of Mahakala, a deity who is widely revered in for his protective powers. The first is the Six-armed Mahakala, who is depicted in the center of the painting. He's often associated with the removal of obstacles and is believed to protect practitioners of Buddhism from harm.

The second form of Mahakala is the four-headed Mahakala, who's shown underneath. This form is associated with the power to overcome obstacles and negative energies, and is often portrayed with four faces to symbolize his ability to see in all directions and to have complete awareness. Both forms of Mahakala are considered important protectors in Tibetan Buddhism, and are often invoked during rituals and ceremonies.
