Six-Armed Mahakala

This miniature thangka is hand-painted by Regong artists, depicting the classic form of the Six-Armed Mahakala Dharma Protector. Fitted with an exquisitely crafted gau box for portable wear, it serves well for art appreciation, collection and styling decoration.
Created following traditional thangka painting techniques, the main deity’s deep blue body is layered with multiple washes of natural mineral pigments, delivering rich and full colours. The facial expression carries strong intensity. Fine hatching lines render distinct layers for the long hair. The six arms are dynamically posed, with fluid, lively lines defining the ritual implements and scarves. The background features elaborate and full flame and auspicious cloud patterns. The striking contrast between orange-yellow and deep blue, paired with a compact composition, achieves outstanding visual expressiveness.
The entire piece is fully hand-painted. Slight variations in brushwork among individual works are normal characteristics of handcrafted artworks.
