Thangka is a Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting meaning “recorded message” in Tibetan language generally made with mandalas and Buddhas. It is a tradition to keep thangka unframed and rolled up when not on display, mounted on a textile backing somewhat in the style of Chinese scroll paintings with a further silk cover on front. The painting of thangka often has an elaborated composition including many small figures. It has a central deity surrounded by other identified figures in a symmetrical composition.
Thangkas are not just paintings; they also communicate a message to anyone looking at them. It serves as an aid to teaching, as each detail on it has a deep meaning and refers to parts of Buddhist philosophy. Thangka is a valuable teaching tool which depicts the life of Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas.
Overall size: 10 3/4 x 9 in.
