Lokeshvara's lion crouches upon a white moon-disc and a lotus that is supported by leaves and buds. The stem of this lotus arises from the waves of a dark lake.Lokeshvara's fierce lion is adorned with a crowning jewel, anklets, a collar of little round bells, and a silk saddle-blanket. With his head turned back towards Lokeshvara the lion gazes forward.
Half of his long black hair is bound up into a jewel-crowned topknot, while the other half hangs freely about his shoulders and back. His left hand resting at the level of his hip he holds the stem of white lotus that blossoms at the level of his shoulder.

How does mold damage a Thangka ?
A humid room without air circulation is the perfect environment for mold growth. If a thangka in such a room becomes damp or wet, mold will grow on it. This growth can badly damage the cloth, the pigment, and the binder. Molds form a fuzzy coating on the thangka.
