Vajrapani Thangka – 57×74 cm, Fine Grade
Dark blue Vajrapani lunges to the side on a yellow sun disc over an orange lotus, raising a gold-coloured vajra in his right hand and holding a lasso at his heart in his left, with three bulging eyes, a crown of five jewels, upswept dark hair, green snake ornaments, pale yellow scarves and an animal-skin skirt.
A blaze of orange and red flames edged in gold-coloured line rises behind him, under pale yellow clouds in a teal sky.
Snow peaks, green and orange cliffs and a waterfall surround the lotus, which rises from a river, with an offering of jewels and tusks in the water below, inside a brown border.
Hand-painted in Nepal on cotton canvas.
Size: 57 × 74 cm (22.4 × 29.1 in), including the painted border. Hand-painted, so allow ±1–2 cm. Size guide →

Vajrapani, "vajra in hand", is the wrathful bodhisattva of power. He is dark blue, raises a vajra in his right hand and stands in flames; with Chenrezig and Manjushri he forms the three protectors of the Buddha's family.
