(Unknown Lama). Vaishravana. 1400s.

This 15th century ‘thangka’ shows the Dharmapala (protector) deity Vaishravana, venerated god of wealth, guardian deity of the North, and a follower of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. He is seated on a white snow lion, holding a jewel-spitting mongoose and a victory banner or standard. As is typical of thangkas, the deity is the central focus of the painting and is shown front-on, though sometimes in a schematic style. The picture plane is flat with no attempt at perspective. Rather the deity and his entourage are depicted in accordance with a hierarchical arrangement, and while this format and iconography conform to an accepted convention of Tibetan Buddhism, it also shows the complex compositional treatment favoured by the Newari artists of Nepal.
