Description
A typical Tibetan Buddhist artwork, known as a Paden Lhamo Thangka, depicts Paden Lhamo, a powerful guardian deity. Traditional materials such as silk, gold thread and paint are used to create a vivid representation of Paden Lhamo with intricate details.
Palden Lhamo, the main figure in the thangka, is often represented as a dark-skinned, fearsome goddess. She is depicted astride a mule or horse, with a crown of skulls signifying her power over death. Her intelligence is highlighted by the third eye on her forehead. Her aggressive aura is further reinforced by her protruding tongue, fangs, and armaments such as scimitars, spears, and arrows.
