Bon Deity Takla Mebar
Tibet, 17th Century
The Bon deity Takla Mebar has fire-like eyebrows, three angry eyes and a fearsome expression. It is very unique and vivid, forcing a strong impact upon the viewer when seeing it.
Takla Mebar is a great teacher in Bon. This thangka depicts his wrathful image. A 17th century document recorded his look vividly: red skin, three wrathful eyes, rectal and holding wheel and swords.
