Yellow Jambhala & Yamantaka Double-Sided Thangka Pendant 18K Gold Hand-Painted | Rebgong Art | 53 × 43 mm Gau Box

Product Overview

This powerful double-sided Tibetan thangka pendant features Yellow Jambhala and Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava), uniting material prosperity and supreme wrathful wisdom within a single sacred object.

Entirely hand-painted on both sides with 18K gold, this pendant is executed in the highly demanding Rebgong (Regong) artistic tradition, known for its dense compositions, rigorous iconography, and high spiritual standards.
It is encased in an 18K gold gau box with a sapphire crystal mirror, combining devotional depth with refined durability.

Dual Deities: Wealth Guided by Wisdom

In Vajrayana Buddhism, wealth is not regarded as an end in itself, but as a condition that must be guided by wisdom.
The pairing of Yellow Jambhala and Yamantaka reflects this understanding: prosperity supported by blessings, and safeguarded through the transformation of obstacles and ignorance.

This combination is traditionally associated with both external success and inner clarity, forming a complete path of cultivation.

Front: Yellow Jambhala – Abundance, Merit & Prosperity

Yellow Jambhala is revered as a Dharma Protector and the principal deity of wealth in Tibetan Buddhism.

He is traditionally associated with:

• Continuous growth of wealth and favorable conditions

• Dispelling poverty and negative influences

• Accumulating merit through ethical prosperity

In this thangka, Yellow Jambhala symbolizes:

• Flourishing material abundance

• Protection against harmful forces

• Stable fortune rooted in generosity and virtue

Rendered in precise 18K gold linework, his presence emphasizes confidence, stability, and sustained growth.

Back: Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava) – Wrathful Wisdom & Transformation

Yamantaka, also known as Vajrabhairava, is the wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.

In some Tibetan traditions, Yamantaka is also revered as a form of the Red Jambhala, linking him directly to the wealth deity system.
However, while Yellow Jambhala primarily emphasizes material prosperity, Yamantaka represents the transformation of afflictions through wisdom, guiding wealth practice toward spiritual maturity and inner richness.

A traditional teaching describes him as:

“Supporting the force that subdues evil is called Great Power;
Supporting the force that upholds goodness is called Great Virtue.”

This thangka depicts Yamantaka with nine heads arranged in three tiers, symbolizing mastery over the three realms and the destruction of ignorance at every level.
At the very top appears Manjushri in his peaceful form, gazing compassionately forward—reminding practitioners that wrathful power ultimately arises from wisdom and compassion.

With nine heads and thirty-four arms, this form represents one of the most formidable protector manifestations in Vajrayana Buddhism.

Wealth & Wisdom United in Vajrayana Art

Within Tibetan thangka art and ritual objects, Yellow Jambhala and Yamantaka are sometimes depicted together to express the ideal of wealth cultivated under the guidance of wisdom.

• Yellow Jambhala governs the accumulation of material resources

• Yamantaka ensures that wealth is directed, purified, and protected through insight

Together, they symbolize prosperity that does not lead to attachment, but supports spiritual advancement—a core principle of Vajrayana practice.

Exceptional Artistic Difficulty & Master-Level Execution

Depicting Yamantaka is considered one of the most technically demanding subjects in Tibetan thangka art.
