Initiation cards (Tsakli), Tibet, 16th/17th century.
The inscriptions on the back of each card indicate that the set originally functioned as initiation cards into tantric practice. However, they seem to have been repurposed into a banner to decorate a meditation hall. The cards depict various animal-headed wrathful deities associated with the Nyingma tradition. Each ecstatically dances on a prone human figure over a simple lotus platform. They wear tiger skins, and some with flayed human skins. They hold various attributes, and many with human corpses in their grasp.
