This thangka shows the extremely rare image of the Yab-Yum. The main body is dressed as the Sambhogakaya Buddha. He wears a flower crown on his head, his hair is tied high, his eyelids are slightly drooped, and he has a wonderful appearance. He holds a Vajra bell in his right hand and a Vajra pestle in his left hand. He holds his concubine in his arms and sits cross-legged on the lotus throne. Concubine Ming put her hands around the Lord’s neck, and her legs were wrapped around the Lord’s waist. The surrounding heaven and earth realms are decorated with deities, gurus, and protectors. The whole thangka picture has a rigorous composition, full painting method, standard layout, solemn shape, harmonious and tranquil colors, appropriate density, bright and beautiful colors, and strong visual sense, which fully demonstrates the skill of the painter.
