Shadakshari Lokeshvara with Deities and Monks
late 15th century, Tibet
Distemper and gold on cloth 40 3/eight x 31 1/four in. (102.five x 79.four cm)

Shadakshari Lokeshvara is a form of the merciful and compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. The &quotpatron saint&quot of Tibet, he is identified as the Lokeshvara of the Six Mystical Syllables: om mani pad me hum (Hail to the jewel in the lotus). All Dalai Lamas are believed to be manifestations of this deity.

Against a gold background, Shadakshari Lokeshvara is seated cross-legged on a lotus pedestal. The four-armed deity holds his usual attributes, a rosary and a lotus, and has two hands in the position of adoration. He is surrounded by thirty-three Buddhist divinities and monks placed among stylized clouds.

The fine line drawing, almost total absence of color, the therapy of the cloud patterns, and the dragon in the reduce correct corner are indications of the influence of early Ming-period Chinese art. The flowing draperies and billowing lotus flowers are also departures from the a lot more stylized, significantly less naturalistic depictions in both Indian and Nepalese art, the two main sources of early Tibetan painting.
