A wrathful Mahakala deity dominates this dark, richly patterned thangka, rendered in gold and cream against a deep charcoal ground with red ornamental details scattered throughout. The figure sits in a commanding pose surrounded by symbolic elements and smaller deity heads, all executed in the precise, intricate line work and layered composition characteristic of traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting. For a meditation space, altar, or room devoted to spiritual practice and contemplation. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
