Description
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 principal three 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.
Please call the gallery to make sure this item is on display before visiting. -
