I don’t really like Isisaurus. Because in Finnish ‘isi’ means ‘dad/daddy’. So I always think it as Daddysaurus.

Lets not talk about Mahakala. Stomachfish.

A monumental Imperial silk brocade thangka of Mahakala, Yongle period

134 x 87 inches, 340 x 221 cm. Estimate: US$800,000-1,200,000.

Failed to sell Sotheby's, New York, 21 March 2024.

The textile was produced in the Imperial workshops of the Yongle Emperor (1360-1424) during his reign (1403-1424) as a gift to a high-ranking Tibetan lama and depicts Mahakala Panjarnatha.

Protectors II Pen and ink on paper

The illustration is inspired by Tibetan shamanism beliefs (Bon-po) centered around the primitive animal masks and the Mahakala worn during ceremonial dances. The masks often embody wrathful-looking figures to drive fear into the forces of evil (or ego) and 'scare off' the distractions encountered in meditation. Although they seem fierce and scary on the outside, they're meant to aid and protect the individual on its path to spiritual transformation.
