Item id: 6275

This expressive small Mongolian thangka, measuring 2.25 x 3 inches, depicts a dynamic guardian figure rendered in bold, earthy pigments. The deity’s vivid red complexion, wide alert eyes, and powerful stance convey protective energy, while the elaborate costume, staff, and serpent motif add layers of symbolic meaning. Despite its miniature scale, the painting feels strikingly animated, with strong outlines and rich color fields characteristic of traditional Mongolian folk-Buddhist art. Age-related wear adds authenticity without diminishing visual impact. A compelling and collectible example of protective imagery, perfect for those seeking small-format works with strong presence and character.
