Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara Double-Sided Thangka Pendant – Hand-Painted Gilded Copper Ghau Box with Four-Directional Mandala (55 × 45 mm)

Product Overview

This double-sided Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara Thangka Pendant features a pure hand-painted front and back, enclosed in an ornate gilded copper Ghau box.
Compared with more intense Vajrayāna styles, this version is distinguished by its softer color palette, flowing cloud motifs, and gentle lotus mandala composition, creating a visual atmosphere of calm compassion and inner warmth.

It is especially suited for those who seek emotional balance, gentle protection, and long-term contemplative practice, rather than forceful or wrathful imagery.

Front: Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig)

The front depicts Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara, seated serenely upon a lotus throne, surrounded by softly layered halos and auspicious floral elements.

Iconography & Visual Character

• Four arms symbolize the Four Immeasurables: loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity

• Hands joined at the heart holding the wish-fulfilling jewel (Mani) emphasize inner devotion and the awakening of bodhicitta

• Crystal mala and lotus flower appear in a more rounded, flowing style, conveying gentleness and approachability

• The overall composition emphasizes stillness, harmony, and emotional reassurance

This version is particularly suitable for practitioners who resonate with quiet compassion and inward reflection, making it ideal for daily wear.

Back: Four-Directional Mandala (四方坛城)

The reverse side presents a hand-painted Four-Directional Mandala, rendered in a balanced, symmetrical layout with warm pastel tones.

Mandala Symbolism

• Represents a pure and orderly awakened realm, providing spiritual containment and protection

• The four directions symbolize stability, balance, and completeness

• Softer color transitions emphasize integration rather than intensity, guiding the practitioner toward gradual inner transformation

In Vajrayāna symbolism, this mandala serves as a supportive spiritual field, complementing the compassion of Avalokiteshvara with structural clarity.

Combined Practice Meaning

• Together they support:
