Lot Description: This rare 16th Century Tibetan thank, possibly early 17th Century, is a  large piece, the size only for Monasteries or nobility and healing - approximately 32" x 36" and has creases where i t has been rolled up and used in ceremony. It also is smoked in numerous areas. The colors appear to be made from dyes of the local area. This thangka  represents the  solitary Vajrasattva with another, identical 108 Vajrasattvas as background. This form was very valued in Tibet because the number 108 is considered sacred. It is believed that there are 108 afflictions or  kleshas  and 108 Vajrasattvas will purify them faster than one alone. Very simple logic with beautiful artistic results.    Vajrasattva (Tib.:  Dorje Sempa, rdo rje sems dpa) is a Buddhist deity originating in India and primarily functioning as a tantric practice for purification. Vajrasattva is considered a  bodhisattva in the  Mahayana and  Vajrayana Buddhist traditions. Vajrasattva practices are common to all of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and are used both to purify obscurations so that the  Vajrayana student can progress beyond  Ngondro practices to the various yoga practices of tantra and also to purify any broken  samaya vows after initiation. As such, Vajrasattva practice is an essential element of Tibetan Buddhist practice.   Vajrasattva, white in color, has one face and two hands and holds with the right a  vajra to the heart and with the left an upturned bell ( gantha) at the left hip. Adorned with jewels in the form of a crown, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and the like, he is clothed in fine silks garments. Swaying slightly to the left Vajrasattva sits in  vajra posture on a moon disc seat above a white lotus.  This Piece is mounted, size approx 52 X 37 framed *This Item Has a Reserve
