A white six-armed Mahakala Thangka in the style of the Miantang School of Painting. It has great influence in modern Tibetan areas. The six-armed White Mahakala is the compassionate manifestation of the four-armed Avalokitesvara. It can absorb all achievements in the three realms, attract wealth, merit, and longevity, and increase the ability to learn, think, and cultivate the three wisdoms, and follow those who strictly observe the secret precepts, and help them to stop, increase, cherish, and eliminate all kinds of undertakings. This thangka is a representative work of the Miantang School of painting around the 18th century. This thangka has a white body, six arms and three eyes, with red beard and eyebrows. Wearing a crown, a precious necklace, a majestic robe and a colorful skirt, the figure is short and fat, and is decorated with small bells and flower vines. The main two arms of the six arms hold a vase in the left hand, a torma in the right hand, a vajra sword and a wealth bag in the back right hands, and a cross vajra staff and a trident in the back left hands. The two feet are in the shape of a patrol, stepping on the back of Ganesha, with a lotus throne underneath, and blazing flames behind it. The entire thangka has a regular composition, orderly arrangement of primary and secondary colors, fresh and beautiful colors, full of vitality and dynamics, delicate outlines, and concise and concise techniques. It is worth collecting. Thangka is 15.35 in (39 cm) x 11.4 in (29 cm), frame is 20.47 in (52 cm) x 16.92 in (43 cm).
