A gilded bronze sculpture of the wrathful Buddhist deity Vajrapani is centrally displayed within a museum setting. The primary figure, depicted with a fierce expression, three visible eyes, and flaming red hair, stands in a dynamic pose with its right arm raised and left arm slightly bent. It wears elaborate jewelry and what appears to be a tiger-skin loincloth. Beneath the deity's feet, a smaller, prostrate human-like figure is being trampled. The sculpture rests on an ornate, multi-tiered lotus pedestal, which is placed on a simple, light-colored rectangular plinth bearing the inscription "Vajrapani." Behind the sculpture, a large, vibrant thangka painting serves as a backdrop, featuring swirling, stylized patterns in orange, red, blue, and green, depicting flames and clouds. This scene is located within The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, United States.
