Symbolism & Individual Character

Zaki Lhamo is traditionally honored as a female protector and is commonly associated with protection, prosperity, good fortune and the clearing of obstacles. This piece is offered as wearable art inspired by that living tradition; spiritual symbolism is personal and no specific outcome is guaranteed.

Thangka is a Tibetan painting tradition in which proportion, color and fine brushwork carry meaning. Our signature yellow-ground Zaki Lhamo artwork draws on a tradition associated with aspirations for prosperity and protection. Its expressive face offers a contemporary reflection on resilience and purposeful living. Each miniature is painted by hand and enclosed in a smooth silver gawu frame; small differences in line, color and finish are the signature of the maker, so your piece will differ slightly from the photograph.
