Todas las subastas / Arte Asiática / 19th C. Tibetan Yamantaka Thangka, Silk Brocade Mount
Central Asia, Tibet, ca. 19th century CE. A large and vibrantly painted thangka depicting Yamantaka, the wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, surrounded by a halo of flames and encircled by numerous deities and attendants. The central figure is rendered with multiple heads, arms, and legs, trampling upon prostrate figures symbolic of vanquished ignorance, while adorned in elaborate jewelry and crowned with a garland of skulls. Painted in rich tones of orange, blue, green, and gold highlights - the composition radiates dynamic energy and spiritual potency, with carefully detailed smaller figures of lamas and deities in registers above and around the scene. Set within a modern silk brocade mount of yellow and purple floral-patterned fabric, the thangka displays auspicious Buddhist motifs that reinforce its ritual function as an object of meditation and protection. Size of textile: 59" L x 36" W (149.9 cm x 91.4 cm); painting: 43.5" L x 28" W (110.5 cm x 71.1 cm); gold quality: 23% On the verso of this thangka are ritual inscriptions and seals applied during its consecration ceremony. At the four cardinal points are protective seed-syllables, while at the center appears the classic three-syllable formula "Om Ah Hum" rendered in a blocky, stylized Tibetan script with circular marks. This mantra embodies the enlightened body (Om), speech (Ah), and mind (Hum) of the Buddha and is the standard empowerment formula used to ritually "animate" sacred images. Beneath the central mantra are circular seal impressions in red and black ink, representing monastic or workshop insignia used to sanctify the thangka. Together, the inscriptions and seals mark the work as ritually empowered, ensuring it could serve not only as a painting but also as a living object of devotion and meditation. Item # 197519
