Wheel of Life Thangka – 52×68 cm, Fine Grade · MH-4016
Yama, crowned with skulls, grips the Wheel of Life in his hands, feet and jaws, the whole painting drawn in fine gold-coloured line work on black with touches of blue and white.
At the hub, a rooster, a snake and a pig stand for desire, anger and ignorance; a standing Buddha appears in each of the six realms, a bodhisattva and a standing Buddha stand in the upper corners, and a band of Tibetan script runs along the bottom inside a border of dragons.
Hand-painted in Nepal on cotton canvas. Unmounted: it comes rolled, ready to frame or to have mounted.
Size: 52 × 68 cm (20.5 × 26.8 in), including the painted border. Hand-painted, so allow ±1–2 cm. Size guide →
In the box: the painting, rolled (never folded) in a strong tube.
Also in this painting: Buddhas of the six realms, a bodhisattva, a standing Buddha
About Wheel of Life
The Wheel of Life is held by Yama, lord of death. At its hub, a rooster, a snake and a pig stand for desire, anger and ignorance; around them are the six realms of rebirth and, on the rim, the twelve links of dependent origination. A Buddha outside the wheel points to the way out.
Also known as Riduk.
