A THANGKA OF PALDEN LHAMO, 19TH CENTURY
十九世紀吉祥天母唐卡
Sold for €3,792
including Buyer's Premium
Tibet or Mongolia. The vivid thangka depicts Tibet’s protector, Palden Lhamo, riding her mule through a sea of blood surrounded by flames. She is holding a kapala in her left hand, a trident in her right, and wears a garland of severed heads as well as a skull crown. With a silk brocade frame, mounted as a hanging scroll. Inscribed on the backside.
Provenance: From a French private collection.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, soiling, creasing, minor losses.
Dimensions: Image size 69.5 x 47 cm, Size incl. mounting 121 x 84.5 cm
Palden Lhamo's name means 'Glorious Goddess'. A myth surrounding this goddess tells of how, moved by compassion for sentient beings, she threatened to kill her own son if her husband would not cease from performing human sacrifices. Forced to carry out her ultimatum, she used her son's flayed skin as a saddle whilst fleeing the kingdom.
Auction result comparison: Compare a related but larger thangka of Palden Lhamo, also dated to the 19th century and described as Tibetan or Mongolian, at Bonhams New York in Indian, Himalayan & Southeast Asian Art on 19 March 2019, lot 938, sold for USD 37,575.
