A FINE THANGKA OF AKSHOBHYA

Tibet, 18th-19th century. Distemper and gold on cloth, with a brocade frzaame and mounted as a hanging scroll. The blue-skinned deity seated in dhyanasana on a lotus throne with offerings before him, his right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra and his left holding a vajra, wearing monastic robes draped over his left shoulder, backed by a green and red aureole, a small figure of his consort Lochana seated beside him, all below Buddha Amitabha flanked by White Tara and Manjusri, the lower register painted with a small image of a devotee flanked by Vajrapani and Mahakala, all within a verdant mountainous landscape.

Provenance: From the collection of Indrani and Yogaraj Yogasundram. Yogaraj Yogasundram (1927-2011) was a native Sri Lankan who served as ambassador of Sri Lanka in New York, and deputy permanent representative of Sri Lanka to the UN in the 1970s and 80s. His wife Indrani (née Coomaraswamy) was an avid collector of Asian art, amassing a large collection during her time in China, Sri Lanka, and Iraq during her husband’s assignments in the 1960s and in New York thereafter.

Dimensions: Image size 54.9 x 74.3 cm, Size incl. frame 81 x 129.5 cm

Akshobhya’s name literally means ‘Immovable One’. As each Transcendental Buddha adopts one of the canonical hand gestures (mudras) referring to a key moment in Shakyamuni's life, it is apt that Akshobhya should recall Shakyamuni's unshakeable determination against the armies and temptations of Mara. In mandalas relating to his ‘vajra’ clan, and the Unexcelled Yoga tantras (Anuttarayoga), he occupies the center, but in the earliest tantric mandalas where the Five Transcendental Buddhas first appear, he is the Lord of the eastern quadrant, and represents the transmutation of anger into wisdom.
