PAINTED BY THE NEPALESE TANGKA ARTIST ROMIO SHRESTHA AND HIS STUDENTS IN KATHMANDU OVER 7 YEARS IN THE LATE 1980S, EARLY 1990S FROM ORIGINALS PAINTED BETWEEN 1687 AND 1703 DURING THE RULE OF THE FIFTH DALAI LAMA, TO ILLUSTRATE THE TANTRAS, THE WRITTEN FORM OF TRADITIONAL TIBETAN MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE. (The first image shows urinalysis, pathological signs and demonic possession, the 2nd shows Causes of disease...and apparently the anatomy of a clown, although with flowers removed from forearm compartment and length of feet drastically reduced to fit on paper)
