A wonderful rendering of this form of Mahakala and exactly as depicted in photos. Brocade selection really complements the thangka. Super-friendly staff at RitualThangka, and all necessary details of transaction are relayed in a timely and helpful manner. Shipping was prompt with good tracking, and the packing of the thangka for safe-shipping was phenomenal (and greatly appreciated). Thanks so much.
