This expressive Mongolian Thangka painting depicts the witch Sarvabuddha Dakini, who is presumably the best known of all transcendental witches. Here however, she is portrayed as Yogini, fierce and nude, treading on human bodies while she is holding a chipper knife, a Kapala skull bowl and a magic scepter.
