As the emanation of Buddha in the realms of Hell, he corresponds to Sākyamuni in the human realm. It is Yama's function to assess at the time of death the positive and negative actions (karma) performed by sentient beings during their lives and to determine the appropriate realm into which they will be reborn. Visualisation of his attributes brings protection and spiritual wellbeing to the individual and to the wider community. Yama Dharmarāja is usually depicted as blue in colour and bull-headed, clad in bone ornaments. His body is here represented in the centre by a cymbal-wielding skeleton, with his hand implements: the cudgel surmounted by a skull (thod-dbyug) on the left and the black rope-snare or lassoo on the right Below the skeleton are king's and queen's ear-rings, a dish with a yin and yang sign, an umbrella of power, a piece of coral, and crossed incense sticks. Further down, in the centre is the offering cake (gtor ma) surrounded by flames, with a skull bowl as its base.
