This beautiful 24 K Gold Viswa Vajra Thangka Painting from Nepal. It was mounted with the traditional style Brocade setting. The details and precision of the artwork are excellent.
When two thunderbolts are crossed it is called a Viswa Vajra. It is the emblem of Amoghasiddhi. In Buddhist Tantra the word generally designates Sunya or Void which cannot be cut, cannot be destroyed but which destroys all evils.
No noticeable flaws in the artwork. The front part of the brocade is fine. The back of it has some slight weathering and signs of age. This is minor since one will not be viewing the back but worth pointing out.
Brocade Size: 22" tall and 16" wide at bottom ( 55.9 cm tall and 40.6 cm wide at bottom )
Painting Size Excluding Brocade: 8.25" tall and 8.25" wide ( 21 cm all and 21 cm wide )
