Acupuncture

This unusual Thangka-style chart for Tibetan Medicine (Sowa Rigpa) presents a detailed, visceral anatomical figure against a black background. The central deity-like figure, likely for meditation or study, is shown with exposed internal anatomy, emphasizing the rib cage, heart, and digestive system in striking red and black tones. It is multi-limbed, with blue bones and a large, exposed face with red lines suggesting energy channels or musculature. The figure holds a severed head and other ritualistic items, standing on a lotus base. Tibetan script surrounds the figure, likely marking acupuncture points, energy channels (nadis), or anatomical locations for medical practitioners.
