Guru Rinpoche Thangka Scroll

This thangka shows Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), the master who brought Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. He sits on a lotus throne, in front of a green halo and a golden aureole with fine scrollwork. In his right hand he holds the vajra, in his left a bowl with a lotus flower, and the khatvanga staff rests in the crook of his arm. On his head he wears the lotus hat with a feather. Around him bloom red, white and yellow peonies, along with clouds and a rainbow. At the bottom of the picture, offerings on a lotus flower sit in front of blue water.

Brocade, Silk and Rod

The printed picture is set in a red brocade frame with a fine pattern, surrounded by blue-green brocade with golden patterns. Red silk ribbons and a yellow silk apron at the top add accents. At the bottom, a rod with amber-coloured ends keeps the thangka hanging straight. The back is made of red cotton. The red hanging cord is already attached.
