It was kismet to find this exquisite White Tara, a gift for my good friend on her 30th birthday, on Ritual Thanka's Etsy. They have so many practice-quality paintings created by true craftsmen, and the purchasing process is easy.
When I called Ritual's contact number to ask a question, their sales manager answered and took action to help even though it wasn't his normal job. (Thanks, Rajendra!)
They also sent me a brief personal video showing the packed thangka ready for shipping, and got it out the door quickly -- in the face of the covid pandemic, no less.
You can feel safe supporting Nepalese artists by purchasing from Ritual Thanka.

Antique Vajra Dorje: The Thunderbolt of Enlightenment
About Our Ritual Vajra :
Introducing the majestic Vajra, a remarkable creation handcrafted with precision on a copper body. This sacred symbol, also known as the Dorje, radiates with spiritual significance and strength. With a width of 30cm, it sits resplendent, inviting admiration and reverence. The skilled artisans have intricately carved and crafted this Vajra, capturing its symbolic essence and profound meaning. Symbolizing the indestructible thunderbolt and representing the power of enlightenment, this exquisite copper Vajra serves as a potent tool for spiritual practices and rituals.
Its presence is sure to elevate any sacred space or altar, empowering devotees to harness divine energies and find inner clarity and wisdom.
Introduction to Vajra :
An instrument symbolizing vajra is also extensively used in tantra rituals. It consists of a spherical central section, with two symmetrical sets of five prongs, which arc out from lotus blooms on either side of the sphere and come to a point at two points equidistant from the center, thus giving it the appearance of a "diamond scepter," which is how the term is sometimes translated.
