Magzor Gyalmo, or the “Queen that Repels Armies,” is a specific form of the “Glorious Goddess” Palden Lhamo, the principal female protective deity of Tibet. Usually she holds a vajra-tipped staff in her right hand and a skull cup in her left, none of them preserved here. She rides sidesaddle atop a mule. Above her head is a large peacock feather parasol. Besides her garments she wears ornaments of skulls and severed heads, and both her cloak and her saddlecloth are made from flayed human skins. Her mule stands in a sea of blood.
