This 19th Century Tibetan/Mongolian miniature Thangka, crafted in mixed materials, is a beautifully intimate devotional piece housed in its original wooden frame. Measuring 2.75" H x 2.375" W x 0.625" D and weighing 35g, it features a finely painted elder figure with a green halo, rendered in delicate lines and soft mineral pigments. The imagery retains excellent character despite age, with gentle wear enhancing its authenticity. Miniatures of this quality—preserved in such an early frame—are increasingly hard to find. A rare opportunity for collectors seeking genuine, small-format Himalayan sacred art with strong presence and charm.
