Unframed Vintage Tibetan Wheel of Life Thangka | Bhavachakra | Black Border | Hand-Painted | 37 × 28 cm

Hand-painted Tibetan Wheel of Life measuring 14.5 inches tall by 11 inches wide, framed by a bold black border with blue geometric inner border.

Yama, the Lord of Death, grips the wheel in his claws and teeth, his fierce face looming above the six realms of existence. Two Buddha figures appear in golden medallions at the upper corners witnesses to the cycle, pointing the way beyond it. The six realms are rendered with extraordinary narrative detail: gods, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, hell beings, and the realm of the titans, each populated with dozens of figures in vivid color.

At 14.5 inches, this is a piece that commands a wall. The black border gives it a graphic intensity that sets it apart from every other thangka in our collection.
