I purchased this image based on a single photograph, but was astonished when I unpacked it because it was so much more detailed than the picture showed. This is one of the most exceptional images of Black Mahakala I have seen in person. There are so many little details, such as the tiny colored crystals set in His jewelry and costume. I am completely satisfied and exhilarated with my purchase, and will definitely continue to purchase from this seller.

Maitreya Original Hand-Painted Buddhist Thangka:
Maitreya buddha~Maitreya the bodhisattva of loving kindness and the Buddha of the next future after the age of Shakyamuni Buddha. Maitreya is believed to currently reside in the Tushita Heaven and is typically depicted as having either a Peaceful Appearance (Bodhisattva) or Buddha Appearance.
Maitreya Buddha holds a lotus blossom in each hand. Each hand also had a Dharma Wheel and a ceremonial foundation. The Wheel of Dharma and the ritual vase are being shown on the top of the lotus flower.
Maitreya was born as one of a thousand sons of a great king in those lifetimes. This king wanted to know in what order his sons would become enlightened, so he put all of their names in a bowl, focused intently for seven days while doing numerous ceremonial offerings, and then pulled their names one by one from the bowl. The Buddha of that age, the Tathagata Limitless Knowledge, foretold that Maitreya would be the fifth Buddha of the present era, with Shakyamuni being the fourth.
