A charming old miniature Mongolian Thangka, measuring 3 inches (7.6 cm) H x 2⅝ inches (6.7 cm) W, featuring a warmly rendered Buddha seated in meditation on a lotus throne. The figure’s orange robes shimmer with fine patterning and subtle gold highlights, while the deep green halo and radiant mandorla create a luminous, uplifting presence. Despite its small scale, the painting displays expressive detailing and vibrant mineral pigments that remain beautifully preserved. Light age wear adds authenticity without diminishing its visual appeal. A lovely and desirable miniature Thangka—an excellent addition for collectors of early Mongolian sacred art.
