Item id: 4375

A beautiful antique Mongolian Thangka, measuring 2⅞ inches (7.3 cm) H x 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) W, distinguished by its unusually fine quality for a miniature work. The painting depicts a venerable lama or enlightened master, adorned in richly layered robes with delicate gold accents and a serene, expressive face. Mineral pigments in soft blues, greens, and warm ochres remain vibrant, highlighting skilled linework and meticulous detailing. The surface bears gentle age wear consistent with authentic devotional use. A superior example of Mongolian miniature sacred art—far finer than most of its type and highly desirable for collectors.
