About this piece
This is the thangka people spend the longest time in front of, because it is essentially a diagram: every segment is a specific teaching and the whole thing is meant to be read rather than admired.

A mix of mineral and high-quality synthetic pigments, which is standard for a piece at this price point and something we would rather state than gloss over. The linework is entirely hand-drawn.

Mounted in brocade with hanging rods and a dust cover.
How it was made

Hand-painted, brocade-mounted — Kathmandu Valley, Nepal.

Painted in Boudha

Made by Karma Gyaltsen, Boudha.

Care & keeping
Never hang in direct sunlight or above a heat source. Dust the surface with a soft dry brush only — never a damp cloth, as stone pigments in glue binder will lift.
