Its origin is probably a derivation of the Hindu deity Yama, first mentioned in the Vedas. God of death who reigns over both heaven and hell, called Nakara and located underground in the south of our world.
The painting most likely comes from a temple in Beijing, destroyed in the late 1980s.LOT AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
