A vertically oriented painting on paper depicts Mahamayuri, a light-skinned figure with downcast eyes and a gold crown. Seated cross-legged on a lotus throne atop a green peacock, the deity has six arms; two hands join at the chest while others hold a bow, arrows, and other attributes. Behind, a red halo and the peacock's fanned tail glow against a dark background of swirling clouds. Delicate gold jewelry adorns the figure.
