A THANGKA DEPICTING VAJRADHARA

TIBET, 15TH-16TH CENTURY

Vajradhara is seated in dhyanasana on a lotus base, hands crossed at the heart and carrying two vajras, clad in a green dhoti and scarf and wearing multiple necklaces, bracelets and disc-shaped earings. The deity has a serene expression with downcast eyes and hair upswept into an elaborate top knot beneath a five-point tiara. Vajradhara is flanked by two bodhisattvas and is surrounded by registers of buddhas, lamas and wrathful deities.

The panel, 28 ¾ in. x 21 ½ in. (72.7 cm. x 54.6 cm.)
