This charming vintage Mongolian painted Thangka, measuring 4" x 5", presents a warm and expressive depiction of the Buddha rendered in vivid mineral pigments and highlighted with fine gilt accents. The figure sits serenely in dhyāna posture, holding a traditional alms bowl, framed by radiant rainbow mandorlas and a deep celestial blue background. Despite its intimate size, the piece carries impressive presence, capturing the distinctive folk aesthetic of Mongolian Buddhist art. A beautifully preserved example of regional devotional painting—ideal for collectors seeking authentic, character-filled works of modest scale.
