Although styles vary, recurring attributes make the figure immediately recognisable: a compact, regal body, treasure imagery and the mongoose associated with jewels. The importance of Yellow Jambhala is therefore not simply that he is a “wealth god,” but that Buddhist art uses the language of abundance to express the value of having sufficient resources and fewer material obstacles. In a small tsa-tsa, this larger tradition is condensed into an object intended for close, personal viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/section\u003e\n    \u003csection class=\"pdp-v3__section pdp-v3__making\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pdp-v3__section-head\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-v3__tag\"\u003eTHE MAKING · PROCESS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow this piece was completed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe tsa-tsa body was hand-pressed from local Shiqu clay using a traditional image mould, naturally dried and hand-painted by a monk.
