Tapa-i Kafarihā
Description
The two demons, emerging one above the other, are represented as Brahmans with long hair, moustaches and beards. However, their exorbited eyes, without eyelids, betray their demonic aspect. The first has his mouth half-open, he seems damned, his eyes empty of expression, while the second looks furious.
