I. Cultural Context: Yellow Jambhala (黄财神) is one of the most beloved wealth deities in Tibetan Buddhism. As one of the Five Directional Jambhalas, he is venerated across traditions. His yellow body symbolises earth and abundance. Practitioners who practise his sadhana and recite his mantra seek his blessing for increased merit, longevity, wisdom, and material and spiritual abundance, and for relief from economic pressure so they may "pursue the path in peace" (可安心向道). This 1x3cm Rebgong Buddha Head pendant condenses this potent iconography into a portable sacred image.
II. Visual Analysis: The Rebgong Buddha Head Style.
This piece presents Yellow Jambhala in the Rebgong Buddha Head format: compact, focused composition with clear iconography. The King of Wealth is rendered with correct attributes—yellow body, jewel, mongoose—and the use of natural mineral pigments ensures stability and long-term colour retention.
III. Artistic Alchemy: Minerals and Copper.
Painted by Rebgong lineage artists, this Thangka is executed with Natural Mineral Pigments and traditional hand-painting (天然矿物颜料 纯手工绘画). Mounted in a copper alloy case, the painting is protected from moisture and impact while remaining lightweight and comfortable to wear. The result is a wearable sacred object that honours Yellow Jambhala's role as bestower of wealth and Dharma.
IV. Spiritual Merit & Modern Efficacy: Wealth and Peace of Mind.
Wearing or keeping a Rebgong Buddha Head Yellow Jambhala Thangka pendant is understood to connect the wearer with his blessings for increased merit, longevity, wisdom, material and spiritual abundance, and relief from economic pressure. As a portable sacred image, the pendant serves as a daily reminder of the King of Wealth's blessing and the aspiration to use wealth in accord with the Dharma.
