Yama Dharmaraja, the wrathful aspect of Manjushri, stands astride a bull in a portrayal conveying his defeat over death. Distinctive features including the curly mane of the bull and his lifted left foot suggest dating prior to the more conventional representation of the subject seen during the 18th century. Moreover, the rounded curls at the tips of Yama's flaming hair corresponds to a 16th-century Vajrakila in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (HAR 31396). This earlier convention also characterized by fierce features can be compared to another 16th/17th-century Yama Dharmaraja sold at Christie's, Paris, 11 December 2013, lot 372.
