The King of Wealth Deities: Tibet Bold Yellow Jambhala Thangka Pendant with Copper Casing
Yellow Jambhala (黄财神), Tibetan name Jambhala (藏拉色波), has yellow skin and was once a Bodhisattva; later at the Buddha's behest he took refuge in the Dharma. Yellow represents earth, governing the central plains (黄为土，主中原). He is the chief of the five-colour wealth deities (五色财神中的主尊) and one of the most popular wealth deities in Tibetan Buddhism, the leader of the five road wealth gods (五路财神的领袖), representing wealth and auspiciousness (富贵和吉祥), and is the protector of entrepreneurs and merchants (企业家和商人们的保护神). As the king of wealth deities Jambhala (财神之王瞻巴拉), he upholds the Dharma and masters wealth (守持佛法掌管财富之主), governs wealth, main wealth and career fortune (主司财富正财事业运), and is said to increase longevity, wisdom, material and spiritual enjoyments (能增长寿命、智慧、物质及精神上之受用), bestow complete merit and causes (具足福报因缘), bring flourishing wealth (财源茂盛), attract and gather wealth (吸金聚财), and protect people's property from loss (保障人民财产避免破财). Today we look at a 3.5cm pendant from the Tibet Bold series—hand-painted by Tibet master artists (西藏名师用金粉朱砂雄黄青金石等天然矿物颜料纯手绘), three-dimensional and sublime Buddha imagery (佛造像立体殊胜), refined copper casing (精致铜壳), inheritable and collectible (可传承 可收藏)—a compact support for prosperity.
Tibet Bold Hand-Painted Thangka and the King of Wealth Deities The Tibet Bold series (藏卡粗矿系列) is known for its hand-painted Thangka by Tibet master artists with gold pigment, cinnabar, orpiment, lapis lazuli and other natural mineral pigments (西藏名师用金粉朱砂雄黄青金石等天然矿物颜料纯手绘), with three-dimensional and sublime Buddha imagery (佛造像立体殊胜). Each Yellow Jambhala pendant is painted with care, so that the image carries the symbolism of the chief of wealth deities and the leader of the five road wealth gods. The refined copper casing (精致铜壳) keeps the sacred image protected and ready for wear. The 3.5cm format makes it a dignified, lasting support for those who honour Yellow Jambhala and seek his blessing for wealth, career fortune and the protection of property.
The King of Wealth Deities in the Palm Wearing this pendant is an invitation to carry Yellow Jambhala's blessing with you: wealth and career fortune, longevity and wisdom, flourishing wealth, and the attraction and gathering of wealth (财神之王瞻巴拉·主司财富正财事业运·财源茂盛·吸金聚财).

For practitioners and for those who value Tibet hand-painted Thangka art, this pendant offers a tangible link to a deity associated with wealth and the fulfilment of aspirations.
