This door probably stood at the entrance to a small shrine dedicated to Mahakala, a fierce protector deity popular in many Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Protector deities often have their own shrines. The door consists of two panels framed by a lintel and jamb with decorations typical of wooden portals to protector chapels. The lintel and jamb have multicolored and layered “checkered” carvings and images of vajras and skulls. The decoration on the panels depicts faces of Mahakala and offerings like barley cakes (torma). Such images served as offerings to the deity and indicated a restricted access to the chapel.

What about the #RubinMuseum, where I had an annual membership? Where are the artists 🎨 & galleries & cultural institutions? Are they all still on worthless illegal immigrant apartheid loving tax avoidant non-Union antisemetic toxic masculine man chode Leon's hate parade? The 🌎 seems to be asleep 😴.

The Future of the Rubin – Rubin Museum of Artclose-button The Rubin Museum of Art is a dynamic environment that stimulates learning, promotes understanding, and inspires personal connections to the ideas, cultures, and art of Himalayan Asia.

Good luck to the #RubinMuseum in its new stage!! Weirdly, the museum that activated the most harmonious relationship between the collection and the space is now probably forced to give up its physical location. May this not be the end✨ rubinmuseum.org/transformati...
