{"product_id":"miniature-thangka-leather-pendant-tibetan-deity","title":"Miniature Thangka Leather Pendant — Hand-Painted Tibetan Deity Charm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThangkas are one of the oldest forms of Tibetan devotional art. Monks and travelers have carried miniature versions for centuries — tucked into robes, worn around the neck, kept close on long journeys. This pendant works the same way. Each one holds a small hand-painted clay figure inside a stitched leather frame you can attach to a cord, bag, or keyring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClay Figures, Not Printed Transfers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image inside is not a print. It is a tsa-tsa — a clay tablet molded and hand-painted in the Tibetan tradition. Tsa-tsas have been made for over a thousand years as portable objects of devotion, pressed from sacred clay and often mixed with mineral pigments. The figures here follow that same process: each one is individually painted, which means the colors and details vary slightly from piece to piece. That variation is the point. No two are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather casing is hand-stitched with visible saddle stitching around a recessed square window. The frame is shallow — 0.85 cm thick — but sturdy enough to protect the clay face inside. The loop at the top takes a cord, a chain, or a clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho These Deities Are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach variant features a different figure from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Zambala (黄财神) is the wealth deity — usually depicted in yellow, holding a mongoose. Green Tara (绿度母) is associated with swift compassion and safe passage. Manjushri (文殊菩萨) carries a flaming sword said to cut through ignorance. Palden Lhamo (扎基拉姆) is a protector figure, one of the rare female dharmapalas in the tradition. The Five Lords (五爷) refers to a group of protective spirits venerated widely across Chinese Buddhist practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractitioners choose the figure that matches what they are working on — or simply the one they feel drawn to. There is no wrong answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep away from water and prolonged moisture — the clay face can soften if soaked. Wipe the leather with a dry cloth. Avoid contact with perfume or oils near the painted surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buddha Tibet","offers":[{"title":"White Zambala — Round (Size 1.0)","offer_id":49427947225226,"sku":null,"price":21.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Zambala — Round (Size 1.0)","offer_id":49427947257994,"sku":null,"price":21.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Zambala — Round (Size 1.0)","offer_id":49427947290762,"sku":null,"price":21.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Zambala — Round (Size 1.0)","offer_id":49427947323530,"sku":null,"price":21.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Zambala — Round (Size 1.0)","offer_id":49427947356298,"sku":null,"price":21.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Zambala — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947389066,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Zambala — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947421834,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Zambala — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947454602,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Zambala — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947487370,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Zambala — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947520138,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Zambala — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947552906,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Zambala — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947585674,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Zambala — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947618442,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Zambala — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947651210,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Zambala — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947683978,"sku":null,"price":35.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Tara — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947716746,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Tara — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947749514,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Past \u0026 Present Life — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947782282,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Past \u0026 Present Life — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947815050,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Manjushri — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947847818,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Manjushri — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947880586,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Five Lords — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947913354,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Five Lords — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947946122,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Palden Lhamo — Round (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427947978890,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Palden Lhamo — Square (Size 1.5)","offer_id":49427948011658,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Zambala — Round (1.5)","offer_id":49427948044426,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Zambala — Square (1.5)","offer_id":49427948077194,"sku":null,"price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/5268\/2634\/files\/miniature-thangka-leather-pendant-hand-painted-tibetan-deity-charmwhite-zambala-round-size-10buddha-tibet-9459065.jpg?v=1779808993","url":"https:\/\/www.buddhatibet.com\/products\/miniature-thangka-leather-pendant-tibetan-deity","provider":"Buddha Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
