Zaki Lhamo Thangka Pendant – Past & Present in Compact Form Pure Hand-Painted Tibetan Thangka in Copper Gau Box (20 × 26 mm)

Product Overview

This Zaki Lhamo Thangka Pendant – “Past & Present” is a pure hand-painted Tibetan thangka, presented in a compact rectangular copper gau box designed for refined, close-up appreciation.

Unlike larger pendants that emphasize visual presence, this piece focuses on density, detail, and intimacy. Within a small 20 × 26 mm frame, the painting captures the dual nature of Zaki Lhamo—fierce protection and calm awareness—making it especially suitable for daily wear and personal devotion.

Its size allows the pendant to sit close to the body, reinforcing its role as a private, contemplative object rather than a statement accessory.

Past & Present – Expressed Through Contrast

The concept of “Past & Present” in this piece is rendered through clear visual contrast within a tightly balanced composition.

• One side reflects fierce, confrontational energy, symbolizing the facing of past suffering and obstacles.

• The other side expresses gentleness and composure, representing clarity, continuity, and protection in the present.

In a small format, this contrast feels more immediate and personal—inviting reflection rather than spectacle.

Distinctive Design Features

• Gem-accented frame, creating a jewel-like visual focus

• Crisp edges and tight proportions, emphasizing order and balance

• Layered metal detailing, adding depth without visual heaviness

This design makes the pendant feel carefully contained, echoing the idea of holding transformation and protection within a small, deliberate space.
