Vaisravana - Small Size

Vaiśravaṇa, a Dharmapala (protector), is the Guardian King of the North. He is one of the major gods of wealth. Riding a Snow Lion he carries a victory banner (gyaltsen) as a symbol of his sovereignty. In his left hand, he holds a mongoose that is ejecting jewels from its mouth. The mongoose is the enemy of the snake, a symbol of greed or hatred; the ejection of jewels symbolizes generosity.

For a small thangka, this painting is quite nice. The silk brocade outer frame is primarily saffron colored with rose colored flowers.  If you are interested in seeing the whole piece contact us and we can send a photo (prayerflags2@gmail.com).
