Original Hand Painted Lion Face Dakini / Simhamukha/ Simhamukhi Jogini /Yogini Masterpiece Tibetan Meditation Thangka / Thanka Painting

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE LION-FACED DAKINI THANGKA, AN EXTREMELY FINE PAINTING DONE BY EXPERT HAND USING GOLD AND NATURAL PIGMENTS

This is a master-quality Simhamukha (lion-faced) Vajrayogini Thangka with premium quality silk brocade. Simhamukhi, Dakini (in Tibetan: Seng Ge Dong Chen Kha Dro Ma and in English: Lion Faced Dakini). With a body black in color, the face is that of a white lion, with three round yellow eyes, blazing fiercely with a gaping mouth, a yellow beard, eyebrows, and hair flowing upward. The right-hand holds upraised a curved knife called Kartika to the sky, and the left hand holds a skull cup of blood to the heart, carrying a Khatvanga staff tipped with a trident in the bend of the elbow supported against the shoulder. Adorned with a tiara of five skulls, a red scarf, elephant skin, bone ornaments, a long snake, and fifty freshly severed heads as a necklace, she wears a tiger skin skirt. Standing on the left leg with the right drawn up, trampling on a double triangle symbol, corpse, sun, and multi-colored lotus seat, Simhamukha in a mood of great fierceness dwells in the middle of a blazing fire of pristine awareness.

GESTURES AND ATTRIBUTES
Simha Mukhi Jogini appears in a wrathful form of feminine and demonic; her form is said to be actually that of a Matrikia or Mamo, not because her nature is evil or demonic but because her wrathful aspect (khro gzugs) skillfully overcomes and subdues those violent negative energies. Simha Mukhi is a Jnana Dakini or wisdom goddess. According to Jigmed Lingpa (1726-1798), the famous Nyingmapa master and discoverer of hidden treasure texts or Termas, Simha Mukhi represents a Nirmanakaya manifestation, appearing in time and history. In contrast, her Sambhogakaya aspect is Vajravarahi and her Dharmakaya aspect is Samantabhadri, the Primordial Wisdom herself.
