Rahula Thangka – 52×68 cm, Classic Grade
Red Rahula rises from pink waves with a wrathful face flanked by two more and tiers of smaller heads above, crowned with skulls and topped by a blue crow's head, eyes covering his body and arms and a great wrathful face on his belly, drawing a gold-coloured bow and a blue arrow with his main hands.
He holds a banner on a staff in his upper right hand and a green snake in his upper left, two small human figures and a cluster of heads are caught at his sides and waist, and his lower body coils into a green serpent tail spotted with black, before a great blaze of orange and gold-coloured flames.
A sky shading from blue to pale cream, with a sun and blue-white clouds at the upper left and a crescent moon at the upper right, rises over snow peaks and green hills, with brown mountains and green plants below, inside a red border.
Hand-painted in Nepal on cotton canvas.
Size: 52 × 68 cm (20.5 × 26.8 in), including the painted border. Hand-painted, so allow ±1–2 cm. Size guide →
