Zaki Lhamo Thangka Pendant – Past & Present in Dual-Aspect Form Pure Hand-Painted Tibetan Thangka in Sculpted Copper Gau Box (45 × 31 mm)

Product Overview

This Zaki Lhamo Thangka Pendant – “Past & Present” is a pure hand-painted Tibetan thangka, housed in a specially sculpted copper gau box with a distinctive, non-standard silhouette.

Unlike common rectangular or circular pendants, this piece features a tapered oval form with layered relief detailing, designed to visually express the theme of duality and transformation at the heart of Past & Present. The shape itself becomes part of the symbolism—representing the meeting of fierce protection and compassionate presence within a single form.

Compact yet visually striking, this pendant is intended as both a portable devotional object and a collector-level miniature artwork.

Zaki Lhamo – Past & Present, Shown as One Form

The imagery of “Past & Present” in this piece is rendered through a dual-aspect composition—a rare and powerful visual language in Tibetan devotional art.

• One aspect reflects fierce, protective energy, symbolizing the confrontation of past suffering and obstacles.

• The other embodies calm awareness and compassion, representing clarity, continuity, and protection in the present.

Together, they express a core Buddhist insight:
that transformation does not erase the past, but integrates it into strength and wisdom.

A Sculptural Gau Box with Symbolic Depth

The copper gau box of this pendant is not merely a container, but an integral part of the artwork.

Distinctive Design Features

• Custom sculpted silhouette rather than a standard geometric frame

• Raised relief patterns inspired by traditional Tibetan metalwork

• Layered depth, framing the painting like a miniature shrine

• Gem-accented detailing, enhancing visual rhythm and balance

This sculptural form reinforces the idea of transition and convergence, making the pendant visually and symbolically richer than conventional designs.
