| This is a relatively big thangka of Vajrapani, probably done in eastern Tibet circa the 1930-1950. In the center is dark blue Vajrapani, holding a vajra with his right hand and shaking his left forefinger in righteous anger. He is clothed in a tiger skin dhoti, and steps on two entwined snakes. He has three eyes and a five-skull crown, as is true of other protector and fierce deities. On top are two sitting lamas and in their midst is Garuda, the bird man. Below is the dark blue wealth deity, Jambala, holding a skull cup with his right hand and a mongoose with his left. On the other side is a naga (part man part snake) deity holding a flaming jewel. In front are five gems of different colors. The painting is in good condition, with some paint cracking. The painting itself measures approx. 16 x 21 inches. Inclusive of the olive green and orange and yellow silk frame, the thanka measures approx. 29 x 41 inches. The silk frame is in very good condition, while the orange silk veil has holes and tears. | ||
