AbstractPart of a special issue devoted to recent acquisitions by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A catalog entry describes Mandala of Samvara, a Nepalese ink and opaque watercolor on cloth dating from ca.1100. The piece was made as an aid to meditation in which Samvara, the most important yidam (tutelary deity) of Esoteric Buddhism,was visualized. Surrounding the central image and appropriate to it are energetic and macabre scenes showing devotees and deities set in the eight great Indian cemeteries.
