The painting shows the attributes of Dorje Kongtsun Demo (‘Venerable Protectress of Kongpo’), also known as Dorje Bokhamkyong (‘Protectress of Tibet and Kham’). She is one of the 12 mountain goddesses (brtan-ma bcu-gnyis) and is associated in particular with Mount Namchak Barwa in the eastern Himalayas, below which her sacred abode is situated. The top of the painting is adorned with jewel pendants. Below them, the crown of the goddess is fashioned with turquoise inset with gold, with gold earrings, and a pair of phoenixes alongside. Below it is a cherry-brown veil masking the protectress's face, a necklace, and a white robe with red and green patterns, resting on a brown saddle, which is itself positioned above a lotus cushion. On either side of these accoutrements are the hand-held emblems of Kongtsun Demo: the flaming sword, the arrow fastened with its oracular mirror, the crossed vajra (thunderbolts), and mirror.
