Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)

Item id: 2905

A striking 19th Century Mongolian depiction of a wrathful deity, crafted on cloth and set within an original hand-worked copper frame, measuring 5 inches (13 cm) H. The deity’s fierce blue form, multiple eyes, and dynamic posture are rendered in vivid mineral pigments, surrounded by swirling flames symbolizing transformative power. Intricate details—such as the skull crown, tiger-skin garment, and ritual implements—reflect skilled tantric artistry and strong protective iconography. The embossed copper frame adds further age, character, and devotional presence. A rare and portable shrine piece, this powerful miniature Thangka is ideal for collectors of Himalayan esoteric art.
