In earlier saiddhAntika tradition the iconography of tumburu feature him in company of the 7 mAtR^ikA-s. This is contrast to his own root tantra-s of the vAmasrotas where he is presented with the 4 sister goddesses: the chaturbhaginI Here is the account from vairochana's manual: 
The two surviving Nepalian manuscripts of the manual showing tumburu with the first 3 mAtR^i-s. He is shown with a tiger hide contrary to the text and without a trident. tumburu in this configuration is widely misidentified as "vINAdhara-vIrabhadra".
Here is the Bhanpura tumburu which matches the prescriptions in the manual including the trident and snake.
The above likely chandella or paramAra. Here is the pratihAra tumburu from Banda that likely matched the prescriptions with the snake and fragment of the trident seen.
