Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
This beautifully aged Tibetan sutra book cover, measuring 2.25 inches tall by 17.25 inches wide, preserves a vibrant sequence of auspicious symbols and offering motifs painted in the traditional style. Though worn and creased from centuries of use, the richness of the colors and the elegance of the linework still shine through, revealing the devotional care invested in its creation. Each symbol—treasure vases, lotuses, banners, and palace imagery—conveys blessings of prosperity, wisdom, and protection. A rare and evocative survival of monastic book art, offering collectors both historical depth and a striking continuous composition ideal for display.
