Keumta-Zon-bo, called the All-Good, has an image that feels at once sacred and uncanny: three heads rise one above another, while ten hands widen the figure’s presence. The description is spare, but its many-faced silhouette lingers like an icon glimpsed in dim ritual light.

Keumta-Zon-bo, also named Keun-tu-zon-bo and Kun-tu-bzang-po, is identified as a Bonpo deity called the All-Good or the All Best. The text describes the deity’s image with three vertically stacked heads and ten hands, but gives no further narrative arc or relationships.
Description
Keumta-Zon-bo is represented with three heads stacked vertically and ten hands, forming an unmistakable, many-limbed silhouette. The text gives no details about the heads’ expressions, the figure’s coloring, hair, clothing, or the objects held in the hands. The deity’s presence is icon-like and extraordinary, defined by the striking multiplicity of heads and arms.
