金剛手菩薩忿怒相
The Wrathful Bodhisattva Vajrapāṇī

青海(安多)二十世紀初期
Qinghai (Amdo), early 20th century
黑藍色身金剛手菩薩呈忿怒相,三目圓睜,額上之目垂直,眉毛濃密,闊嘴大張,獠牙外露,以勇武的戰鬥姿立於蓮華座上,安住於般若烈焰中。身披天衣,以虎皮為裙,以瓔珞為莊嚴。右手高舉持金剛杵,左手於胸前作期克印。唐卡上界左右兩邊均為側身面向主尊的格魯派喇嘛。
The blue-black coloured Vajrapāṇī, the Vajra-Holder, is depicted in an active warrior posture on a lotus. Flames radiate from his body and a scarf swirls around his body. His wrathful face has a third vertical eye on the forehead, bushy eyebrows and a wide opened mouth with fangs. He holds the vajra in his raised right hand and the left forms the threatening gesture in front of the chest. Regally ornamented, he wears a tiger skin loin-cloth. In the upper corners, Gelug lamas are depicted in three-quarter profile.
