The Buddhist image of the union of the two bodily deities, known as the Yab-Yum, is a typical artifact of Tibetan Buddhist art. The image is a small, life-size piece. The main deity is a wrathful king, holding a sword and a vajra in each of his four arms, wearing a five-leaf crown, and with a dignified expression. The consort is a compassionate figure, holding ritual implements in both hands, seated cross-legged on top of the main deity in the Yab-Yum posture, symbolizing the union of wisdom and compassion.
