Tibetan silk thangka "Mahakala", Qing dynasty
Polychrome silk.
The painting represents Mahakala in the center with six arms, multiple legs and faces. In her hands she holds tiebetan religious attributes. He is wearing rich silks surrounding his body and a tiger skin wrapped around the hips. Around her neck and hips have coiled snakes. The posture and her expression are menacing, as he stands atop a base of lotuses and surrounds herself with flames of fire. Surrounding Mahakala are other deities depicted in smaller size.
The painting is framed in silk fabrics. In very good condition.
Size: 83x54 cm Size frame: 132x73 cm
