Product Overview
This Yellow Jambhala Mini Thangka Pendant belongs to the Rebgong (Amdo) Collection, featuring a fully hand-painted thangka by a lama artist, executed with natural mineral pigments renowned for their long-lasting color stability.
With a 2 × 2 cm painting size, the piece is compact yet highly refined, designed for long-term preservation, inheritance, and serious collection.
The pendant adopts a double-sided structure, with the front displaying Yellow Jambhala and the back adorned with a raised Vajra (Dorje) motif, symbolizing indestructible wisdom and spiritual protection.
Yellow Jambhala – Supreme God of Wealth in Tibetan Buddhism
Yellow Jambhala, known as Zambala Serpo and also called Norlha, is revered as the chief among all wealth deities and a Dharma Protector in Vajrayana Buddhism.
He is one of the Five Jambhalas widely honored across all Tibetan Buddhist traditions
(White, Yellow, Red, Green, and Black Jambhala).
In traditional teachings, Yellow Jambhala represents wealth supported by merit, wisdom, and ethical livelihood, rather than material gain alone.
Iconography Reflected in the Painting
The front painting follows classical Tibetan iconography:
-
Yellow body – symbol of abundance, generosity, and fertile merit
-
Seated posture upon lotus base – purity rising above worldly hardship
-
Right hand holding a wish-fulfilling jewel – illumination of merit and blessings
-
Left hand embracing a treasure-spitting mongoose – continuous flow of wealth and resources
Despite the miniature scale, the composition remains balanced, dignified, and complete, a key indicator of skilled Rebgong workmanship.
Rebgong Craftsmanship & Mineral Pigments
This pendant is painted using natural mineral pigments, a traditional method known for:
-
Exceptional color depth
-
Strong resistance to fading over decades
-
Textured, layered visual richness impossible to achieve with modern printing
The work is completed by a lama artist, ensuring that the painting follows orthodox proportions and symbolic accuracy.
Such pieces are widely regarded as collectible devotional artworks, suitable for long-term keeping and generational transmission.
Double-Sided Design – Vajra (Dorje) Back
The back of the pendant features a raised Vajra (Dorje) emblem, cast in metallic relief:
-
The Vajra symbolizes indestructibility, clarity, and unwavering wisdom
-
It represents the unshakable foundation of Buddhist practice
-
When paired with Yellow Jambhala, it unites material stability with spiritual strength
This double-sided construction elevates the pendant beyond ornamentation, making it a complete symbolic object.

In Tibetan Buddhist belief, devotion to Yellow Jambhala is associated with:
-
Cultivating merit and ethical prosperity
-
Supporting longevity and clarity of mind
-
Reducing anxiety caused by material pressure
-
Encouraging a stable life that allows one to focus on inner cultivation
