He is shown with one face and two hands in a 'tsen' daemon dressed like a Tibetan warrior, covered in protective armor. In the right hand, he holds a sword with a scorpion-shaped handle. The left-hand clutches to the breast a fresh heart with a bow and arrow held in the bend of the elbow and a long lance and banner leaning against the shoulder. Aside from the armor, he wears all the usual wrathful vestments, such as the crown of five skulls and a necklace of fifty freshly severed heads. Standing atop a sun disc with the right foot on the corpse of a horse and the left on the corpse of a man, the flames of pristine awareness surround him.

Begtse Chen, the protective deity, is also known as Chamsing (English: Great Coat of Mail; Sanskrit: Prana Atma). Begtse, also known as red Mahakala, is a prominent figure in the Sakya guardian pantheon of Wisdom Deities. The guardian was then taken and incorporated into Tsongkapa's Gelug School and has since become popular in Mongolia, where the Gelug tradition has been practiced mainly since the 17th century. Begtse is revered as a worldly protector deity in several Gelug lineages and regional monastic establishments. The majority of the art artifacts in the collection below were created in a Gelug setting, and many are of Mongolian provenance.
