Large vintage Buddhist Thankga of Sahasrabhuja Avalokiteshavara, the 11 headed, multi-armed Divine Bodhisattva. The image is hand-painted on linen, signed verso and framed in silk.

Avalokiteshavara is the spiritual son of Dhyani Buddha Amitabha. Avalokita meaning looking on, Ishvara meaning lord. According to legend, Amitabha's head split apart with grief at realising how many evil beings in the world were yet to be saved. He turned each of the fragments back into a whole head, then placed them on his son in three tiers of three, followed by a fearful 10th, before finally topping them all with his own image. The 11-headed Avalokiteshvara is represented with thousands of arms, which rise like the outspread tail of a peacock around him. Traditionally he is said to live on the mountain Potala which is why he is frequently depicted on hilltops, as here.This beautiful Thangka has been hand-painted on linen, itself an act of deep devotion. And is one of a handful of sacred Thangkas from Tibet and Nepal we sourced personally from a reputable dealer in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu in April 2022.
