Jatson Nyingpo Thangka

The central figure of the Tibetan master Jatson Nyingpo is seated cross-legged on a large lotus throne, wearing monastic robes and a pointed red hat. His right hand is raised, holding a vajra, while his left hand rests lower, clutching a ritual phurba dagger topped with a serpent-like form. A solid green disc serves as a halo behind his head, framed by a larger, faint, circular aura of light. Below the figure, a wooden table is laden with ritual offerings, including bowls of fruit, incense burners, and a white ritual vase. The background features stylized clouds and a muted landscape, with small figures of deer and birds depicted in the lower corners.

Jatson Nyingpo (1585–1656) was a prominent terton (treasure revealer) of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. This thangka represents his central place within the Nyingma tradition of 'revealed treasures' (terma).
