A vertically oriented gum tempera and graphite painting depicts the deity Hari-Hara, split vertically. On our left, the figure has light blue skin, while the right half is dark blue. Seated on a green platform, the four-armed figure wears a peacock feather crown and striped yellow garment against a faint architectural backdrop. On our left, one arm holds a red instrument; on our right, two arms grasp a loop and staff.
