Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)

Item id: 9813

This unusual 19th Century Tibetan/Mongolian thangka is delicately painted on fine silk, a rarer and more refined medium that lends the artwork a soft, luminous quality. The palette—warm reds, rose tones, and muted golds—remains beautifully harmonious despite age. Expected fading and wear are present, consistent with a devotional piece of this period, yet the central deity and surrounding figures retain strong visibility. The silk image measures 12 × 8 inches, while the full textile mount extends to 19 × 12.5 inches. An evocative, hard-to-find thangka offered with a lowered starting price, ideal for collectors of early Himalayan art.
