Leaf from a Manichaean book MIK III 4959

The eyes are big and prominent, hook nose, curly beard, and the fangs in his mouth confirm his devil status.

He has a red headlight on the back of his head, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a white turban and a gorgeous golden crown, topped with feathers.

He is naked, with only a gold and green waistcloth tied around his waist, and a red belt diagonally over his left shoulder.

[1] Below the devil's image can be seen two remaining purplish-red headlights, part of the hair, and headdresses, which may be two gods, and the three-petal flower sticks in their hands are also clearly visible.

This view was accepted by the Hungarian Asian religious art historian Zsuzsanna Gulácsi, but she made a new interpretation of some details.
