Item id: 4368

A small yet beautifully executed antique Mongolian painted Thangka, measuring 4 inches (10.2 cm) H x 3.25 inches (8.3 cm) W. The composition features a radiant red-hued deity seated in meditation on a lotus throne, framed by a soft turquoise halo and delicate white mandorla. Rich mineral pigments—especially the vibrant blues, greens, and warm ochres—display the characteristic palette of Mongolian Buddhist art. Despite its intimate size, the painting shows refined linework, expressive features, and subtle gold highlights. Gentle age wear attests to its devotional history. A charming and collectible miniature Thangka for connoisseurs of Himalayan sacred art.
