On many occasions we get asked if our works are prints given their high quality and detail like no other offered. So, just for the record. This thangka, like every other offered in our collection, is a 100% original hand painted with real stone paint on canvas adorned with pure 24k gold!. T IS NO COMPARISON TO THE 60 INCH CHINESE THANGKAS THAT YOU SHALL SEE LISTED 99% OF THE TIME.This certainly has to be one of the most detailed green tara thangkas one can hope to find in this price range! The detail, intricacy absolutely breathtaking and truly an incredible degree of magnificence one rarely finds in thangkas nowadays! I wont even begin to describe the actual work on canvas of this composition as its simply tooo much to even begin describe! Newari style thangkas are becoming rarer and rarer to get a hold of! Newari art is a form of thangka art that is literally IMPOSSIBLE to copy as it requires some of the most painstaking degree of detail and something which has to be gifted to the artisans-CREATIVITY! Newari thangka art is now considered to be an endangered form of thangka art as t are soo few neari buddhist thangka artists practicing this art form. Have one good look at this thangka and you shall see why their artworks are so highly sought after Have a look at the breathtaking background alone of this piece and that shall give you enough indication of high quality a newari piece this truly is! This thangka measures a lovely 21 X 16 INCHES I AM THE ONLY SELLER TO ACTUALLY OFFER HAVING THESE THANGKAS MOUNTED IN PURE TIBETAN STYLE SILK BROCADE READY FOR MOUNTING AND DISPLAY. A FIFTH GENERATION THANGKA BROCADE MASTER SHALL ACCENT THE BEAUTY OF THIS ALREADY MAJESTIC THANGKA FOR A SMALL FEE! OF COURSE, WE USE ONLY PURE SILK OF THE HIGHEST CLASS, NO POLYESTER OR CHINESE BROCADE USED The brocade frame of the Thangka also holds symbolic meaning. The inner frame of brocade (often red) can be thought of as a rainbow gateway beyond which lies the pure land inhabited by the deity the Thangka represents. Attached to the top of the frame is a rectangle of colored silk which is long enough to hang all the way down to the bottom of the painting. This acts as a cover for the Thangka and allows it to be 'put to sleep' when it is not in use, as well as acting as a protective dust cover to keep the painting safe when it is stored. This material we use is the highest grade traditional Tibetan motif brocade, t are a great deal of Chinese brocade symbols out t used with a blend of materials to create- what the Chinese sellers use known as" poly-silk:" but we utilize only the highest grade varanasi pure silk and classical Tibetan brocade to mount our thangkas . The finished painting is sewn within a brocade frame and finished with ribbons and silk to protect the image. It is important to understand that you will not find a single thangka in a monastery, or from my own experience, the home of dharma practitioner who uses the thangak for meditation aid displayed without silk brocade. It is of course your choice to have your thangka framed in the "western" style of framing with glass and wooden frame but this is not in accordance to instructions given in the Sadhnas for the final finishing and display of thangka art. Having thangkas framed glass can be very detrimental to your thangka in the long run if they are exposed to yellow light or constant sun and if the wrong kind of glass is used. These both have the effects of wearing the intensity of color, causing chipping on the paint and dulling the intensity of the gold work over a period of time. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT EXPOSED TO EITHER OF THE ABOVE. Unlike having them framed in the traditional manner w one may put them sleep at night by placing the protective silk veil above the canvas to protect it from excessive sunlight or when one is asleep so it is not exposed unnecessarily one is not able to do this with glass frames. A few words about framing thangkas that are no... read more
