清十九世紀 銅鎏金白財神騎龍像

seated astride a menacing dragon, both hands in karanamudra, wearing a skirt, fluttering scarf and jewelry, the face with ferocious expression, the open mouth showing teeth and tongue, framed by elongated earlobes and tiara fronting the red flaming hair, all supported on a base of stylized mountains enclosing water

White Jambhala is a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, born from the compassionate bodhisattva's right eye. He can remove the suffering of poverty and sickness, purify non-virtuous karma, remove karmic obstacles, and avert disaster.
