A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka or tanka, is a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thangka is not a flat creation like oil or acrylic, but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk.  It is sometimes called a scroll-painting.  These thangka served as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas.   We are indebted to Wikipedia from which we have condensed this description, and for this item you should also see our entries 40100072B/C.  Buddha blesses you with peace … Unused.  Grade: 1
