ASTA 193 - FINE CHINESE, ASIAN & ISLAMIC WORKS OF ART
Lot 249
This Thangka (Karmagadri style, typical of Eastern Tibet) portrays the red Yogini Vajravarahi (Rdo-rje-phang-mo in Tibetan). She is surrounded by a flaming halo and she stands in the arrow position capasthana, holding a kapala, a kartika and a khatvanga magic wand. The landscape is poor, as is typical of this pictorial style, but still there are 14 characters in the Thangka: the Adibuddha Vajradhara, the master Milarepa and probably the 13th Karmapa Dudul Dorje (1733-1798, all three in the upper part of the painting). In the lower part there are Avayambhu-rajni, Ajita Mahakala and Vajrasadhu. The Thangka is inside a double-glass frame.
