Framed Antique Tibetan Buddhist Thangka
About the Item
A stunning antique Tibetan Thangka with an embroidered border, circa mid to late 19th Century. It depicts Yamantaka or Vajrabhairava, a wrathful manifestation of Manjusri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, and in other contexts functions as a dharmapala, or 'Dharma-protector'. The buffalo head deity Vajrabhairava is one of the three principal meditation deities of the Gelug School. He is shown with nine faces in the Yab Yum form with his consort Vajravetali, the wrathful form of Saraswati. They are decorated with rings of skulls, and further elaborately surrounded by a halo of flames and other deities and Buddhas.
The piece is displayed on a linen canvas in a plexiglass shadowbox as shown.
