Chakrasamvara Mandala, Ritual Diagramme from Nepal (circa 1100), from the Original, Framed Art Print
Original public domain art from the MET Museum, digitally enhanced. Distemper on cloth, from the Thakuri–early Malla periods, Nepal.
Original size: image: 67.3 cm x 50.2 cm, framed 121.9 cm x 83.8 cm.
This ritual diagramme (mandala) is conceived as the cosmic palace of the wrathful Chakrasamvara and his consort, Vajravarahi, seen at the centre. These deities embody the esoteric knowledge of the Yoga Tantras. Six goddesses on stylised lotus petals can be seen surrounding the divine couple.
Framing the mandala are the eight great burial grounds of India, each presided over by a deity beneath a tree. The cemeteries are appropriate places for meditation on Chakrasamvara and are emblematic of the various realms of existence. The lower register contains five forms of the goddess Tara, a tantric adept at left, and two donors at right.
This mandala is one of the earliest surviving large-scale paintings known from Nepal. Stylistic features relate it to Nepalese manuscript covers and to eastern Indian palm-leaf manuscript illustrations of the twelfth century.

CLICK FOR TIPS
When buying artworks figure out what you like. If you're just buying something you love, it's not difficult to make a decision!
If you hang an artwork at home and it doesn’t feel right, move it. Try putting it in different places, and see if it strikes an interesting dialogue with other works on your wall. Smaller artworks often work well near light switches, or hung low over a small piece of furniture like a bedside table.
Grouping works together can be really effective. Test out a group of frames by arranging them on the floor or a table top. If you’re feeling pro, use masking tape to mark out your very own tightly packed grouping!
