A blue mount stands beside him, and the composition carries the eye down into registers of riders on horses and mounted warriors on galloping horses. Attendant figures fill the corners, balancing the scene. Midnight blue, gold ochre, jade green, crimson red and sand tan dominate the palette, with gold rendered as a major accent across the figure and ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVaishravana is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhist cosmology and rules the northern quarter. He protects the dharma and the monastic community, and he is revered as a giver of wealth whose riches serve spiritual development and charitable work rather than material greed. The flame halo and the armoured retinue express his power to clear obstacles on the path to enlightenment. Commissioned by high-ranking lamas and monasteries as a focus for meditation and ritual, this work reflects the technical mastery and the fusion of theology and devotion that defined Himalayan religious painting in its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Kiss-Cut Sticker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its own artwork, so the composition's halo, horses and corner figures keep their exact silhouette on the surface where they land. The dense detail of a thangka reads well at close range, which suits a sticker held in the hand or placed at eye level, and each piece carries the full devotional scene in a compact, collectible form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529907286234,"sku":"26816714013146312573","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529907319002,"sku":"15839865409305488678","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529907351770,"sku":"11693894873610841435","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529907384538,"sku":"15951602274563886925","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529907417306,"sku":"33011239699769343146","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529907450074,"sku":"16917801466944022363","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Inch \/ Transparent","offer_id":48529907482842,"sku":"55966535594716341029","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Inch \/ White","offer_id":48529907515610,"sku":"77705252584570754973","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/unknown-vaishravana-the-guardian-of-buddhism-and-protector-of-riches-15th-century-v1-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-unknown-alt-3.webp?v=1788133332","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/unknown-vaishravana-the-guardian-of-buddhism-and-protector-of-riches-15th-century-v1-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
