Astrological Chart
This Tibetan astrological chart is an auspicious talisman and an instructional tool that brings good fortune to all those who see, display, or possess it. Such charts can often be found hanging on the walls of Tibetan houses or even engraved on amulets carried on one’s person. This early Tibetan system of astrology derives from China and was believed to have been taught by Manjushri at Wutaishan. all text & images © Rubin Museum of Art |
