Antique Rare Tibetan Thangka On Silk
- 25 Oct 2024 : 13:50 pm
This thangka purchased in Lhasa, Tibet nearly 20 years ago depitcs the founder of the RED HAT sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The work is completely hand-done and has the image on both sides. When I purchased the thangka neither the sellers nor I knew just how rare it is, but once I got it back to my gallery in the USA and researched it I was pleased to find out that that the craftsman who made it had worked on it nearly 200 years ago. It is a fine example not only of the craft of thangka making but it is a rare image as well. Thangkas on silk are extremely rare and should be cherished and cared for. I have travelled with this for 20 years but now must part with it for someone else to enjoy. 36 inches in height by 23 inches in width. More detailed images sent upon request. Serious inquiries only please.
