Sold by Rams Head Antiques

Description

This is a beautiful Tibetan Thangka dating from around 1880. A Thangka is a painting which is used to depict the life of buddha and other deities and bodhisatvas. It consists of a hand painted picture which is then mounted with a textile and then usually overlaid with silk. These beautiful intricate watercolours which are further embellished with gilding can last a long time and retain much of their lustre. This one is a very fine example, in excellent condition with good strong colours and a frame which suits it well.
