Painting of Yama, The Judge of Life and Death
A Rare and Spectacular Painting of Yama (Korean:Yomma Daewang), the God of Life and Death and the Fifth Judge of Hell, looking quite regal in this portrayal. He is looking squarely at you as you face him on your judgment day. If you do not answer him honestly, the white mirror facing you and hanging on the wall to his right will replay events from your life. Old paintings of Yomma Daewang are rare. Beautifully framed and matted with silk brocade. Mineral pigments on paper. Frame: 44.75h x 38w inches, 114h x 96.5w cm; Painting: 32h x 25.5w inches, 81.5h x 65w cm.
