Tibetan Budhist wheel of life thangka painting

The Tibetan Wheel of Life symbolizes the Buddhist perspective on life and contains within it numerous symbols of Buddhist themes and teachings.

The creature who turns the wheel of life and holds it in his clutches is Yama, a wrathful deity and the Lord of Death. Yama symbolizes the inevitability of death, samsara and the impermanence of all things.  This does not lead to hopelessness, though, because outside of the wheel stands the Buddha, who points the way to liberation (symbolized by the moon).
The inner circle of the wheel contains symbols of the three root delusions: hatred (snake), ignorance (rooster), and greed (pig).  The ring around the center represents karma, with the figures on the left ascending to higher realms of existence because of virtuous actions, and the figures on the right descending to lower realms of existence because of evil or ignorant actions.
The middle ring of the wheel (the areas between the spokes) symbolizes the realms of existence.  The top half, from left to right, portrays the higher realms of existence: humans, gods, and demi-gods. The lower half shows the lower realms of existence: animals, hell-beings, and hungry ghosts.

This is a high quality, beautifully detailed example of thanka painting with
dark blue/purple, gold and red brocade mounting and gold oversheet
