Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
This 19th Century Tibetan thangka presents a dramatic and powerfully animated wrathful deity encircled by flames and surrounded by attendant figures, a classic subject rendered with vigorous linework and rich mineral pigments. The painted image measures 12 x 17 inches, set within an impressively preserved original cloth mounting of 35 x 17 inches, including rare surviving side streamers. The surface shows darkening from decades of butter-lamp smoke and exposure—a testament to long devotional use—while the colors beneath remain strong and compelling. From a major American collection, this is a striking, atmospheric thangka with exceptional presence and authenticity.
