FIVE BON TSAKLI
TIBET, 14TH CENTURY

西藏 十四世紀 苯教佛卡 一組五幀

Each panel contains two attendant figures with white, blue, yellow, and red skin colors framed by arching scarves and flowing lower garments. The figures face inward to present various attributes: a bell; a conch; a spear; a whisk; a peacock a feather; a white feather; a drum; and an arrow, while two figures are presented without attributes.

Inscriptions and numbering on the reverse of each tsakli indicate that these were used during initiations and instructions related to the meaning of these attributes and their affiliations.

See three tsakli with similar red domed aureoles and flowers within a dark background in Kvaeverne, The Bon Religion of Tibet, 1995, pp. 130-1, pls. 45.1-2 & 48. Also see a set of 21 Bon cards in the Tamashige Collection (HAR 31206).

Provenance:
Wei Asian Art, Brussels, 1990s
