Antique Dharma Protector Dharmapala Thangka Tapestry, 1920s

About the Item

Dated from the 1920s, painted paper on silk brocade. This Thangka depicts Dharmpala, one of the three ancient treasure protectors of Buddhist teaching, this one being named Rahula. It's lineage is from the Nyugna school of Tibetan buddhism. Rahula is related to the eclipse of the sun, moon and other planets. Ruhala is portrayed with the lower body of the coiled serpent and upper body with four arms, nine heads adorned with a thousand eyes representing the nine planets. He is in a wrathful state, with eyes all over his body and a bow and arrow, a vajra and other instruments held high, revealing that he can find those who break the precepts and subdue them with the power of wisdom and compassion. The many masters and venerables surrounding him show the source of his Dharma lineage. Total Size: 51” x 30” Image Size: 30” x 22”
