Detailed Description: Blue-black in colour with one face and two hands threatening in appearance with round red eyes and a snarling mouth, he holds upraised in the right hand a spear with a red-black pendant. The left hand holds up to the mouth a dark red heart and black lasso. The hair is a heap of yellow curls entwined with black snakes. Adorned with a crown of skulls, gold and jewel ornaments, wrathful vestments, he wears a great black cloak with gold design. Around the waist wrapped as a belt is a human skin securing a red 'ghandi' stick of sandalwood. With the right leg bent and the left straight atop a prone figure he stands surrounded by the bright burning orange and red flames of pristine awareness.
"Glorious great emanation of the body of the Great Black One, trustee of the king of the wrathful, executioner of enemies and hindrances, great deity, glorious and blazing, lord of all Dharma protectors; homage to the glorious lord, Black Eunuch." (Nyingma liturgical verse).
At the top center is a wrathful standing figure, brown in colour, with one face and two hands holding the right upraised with the left holding a skullcup to the heart. At the right is a lama wearing the attire of a monk and a red pandita hat. The right hand performs the mudra (gesture) of earth witness and the left held at the heart performs the mudra of blessing. At the left corner a powerful lama wearing monastic robes and a pandita hat holds a vajra outstretched in the right hand and a kila (three edged dagger) in the left; completely surrounded by a halo of fire.
Along the bottom are three of the main attendant deities to the Black Eunuch. At the left is Rahula, maroon in colour with nine faces and four hands. The first right holds a makara (sea creature) banner and in the left a snake lasso. The second pair holds a bow and arrow ready to shoot. Entirely covered with eyes, the lower body in the form of a snake rises from a turbulent sea of blood. In the center is Raudrantika, dark blue, with one face and two hands holding a spear aloft in the right and a bow and arrow outstretched in the left. Wearing in a cloak and all the wrathful vestments, he rides atop a black horse. At the right is Vajra Sadhu, red in colour, holding a gold vajra upraised in the right hand and a red heart to the mouth with the left; wearing a brightly coloured cloak and riding a brown goat with two curved horns.
