Item id: 5244

A striking small Mongolian thangka, measuring 3 1/8" H x 3" W, depicting a dynamic multi-armed deity rendered with expressive linework and soft mineral-pigment hues. The central figure radiates power and compassion, framed by a warm mandorla and set against an atmospheric landscape of drifting clouds and moonlit sky. Despite its intimate scale, the painting displays impressive detail—graceful hands, ritual implements, and delicate facial features—attesting to the skill of its early maker. Subtle wear consistent with age enhances its authenticity. A rare and evocative miniature thangka, ideal for collectors of Mongolian Buddhist art.
