Buddhist painting on cloth and paper titled "The Legend of the Taikhar Stone" by N. Byambasuren. Depicted in the picture is a horseman, a protective deity, raises a huge rock above his head to dash it on to a triple headed monster: snakelike with three heads, fangs, jewel-like eyes and purple and white body. The rider is in golden armour and pointed crown with five jewels, brown, robe, orange scarf and decorated boots. His horse is blue with a brown mane and tail, orange and blue saddlecloth and red and gold harness. On green and brown hills between two rivers, with the three jewels in the foreground. The roughly shaped rock has lotuses growing from it, in the heavens: blue sky and white clouds, stand two bodhisattvas above the hero’s right shoulder, both are dressed in purple trousers and green scarves, red and gold five-leafed crowns; the first holds a parasol of gold, blue and green, the second a lotus blossom. The painting is Polychrome with a green and gold cloth mount.
