Closeup.

Yama, the Lord of Death, is revered in en:Tibet as a guardian of spiritual practice, and was likely revered even before the conversion of Tibet from en:Bön to en:Buddhism in the 7th century. The idol is wood, painted, over 4 feet high. Human skulls and heads festoon the crown and necklace of Yama.
