A THANGKA OF CHINTAMANI HAYAGRIVA
EASTERN TIBET, MINDROLLING MONASTERY, 19TH CENTURY

藏東 敏珠林寺 十九世紀 馬頭明王唐卡

The red-skinned deity with two arms holding a ritual chopper and skull bowl embraces his consort trampling multiple figures on a golden disced lotus platform. The surrounding simple landscape is populated by four Nyingma masters at the top and various retinue deities on the sides and lower section.

Several representations of Hayagriva appearing this basic form are known and the consort can appear red in colour and sometimes blue. One specific form of the deity is known as Hayagriva-Vajravarahi Chintamani (ta pag yi shin nor bu, the Wish-fulfilling Jewel, Horse-Necked One and Vajra Sow). This principal meditational deity was practiced by the famous 19th century teacher Shabkar (1781-1851) of Eastern Tibet. Compare with an example on HAR 53160.

Provenance:
Spink & Son Ltd., London, 1990s
