Hand-painted Mantra Thangka, Mounted in Real Silk
A thangka is a traditional Tibetan painting depicting Buddhist deities, mantras or mandalas. This thangka was hand painted by a Tamang artisan from the Lama family in Himachal Pradesh, in the Himalayan region of Northern India. The Tamangs (རྟ་དམག་/तामाङ), originate from Nepal and speak a Tibeto-Burman language that shares much of its vocabulary with Tibetan. The Lama family are Tibetan Buddhists and regularly seek audience with His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama in McLeodganj, Dharamsala, or visit the Tibetan Buddhist stupas of Swayambhunath and Boudhanath in Kathmandu.
This thangka depicts Tibetan mantras written in gold paint that encircle the eyes of the Buddha as they appear on the stupa of Swayambhunath in the Kathmandu Valley. It has been varnished, giving it an all-over shine and bringing out all of the colours even further.
It measures 41.5cm in width and 63cm high, (excluding the hanging loop and bottom wooden pole).
Thangkas sold by Jordan Quill are ethically sourced from the Lama family, who have been thangka painters for many generations. They now Live between McLeodganj, India, to be close to the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, and Kathmandu, Nepal. Steeped in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, these paintings are made with the love, care, and attention of this incredible family.
This thangka was hand selected and taken with the help of the Lama family to a Tibetan thangka mounting workshop close to the temple of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama in McLeodganj, India. There, genuine silks were selected in line with traditional values and the aesthetics of the paintings, these silks were manufactured in Varanasi, India. The inner silks closest to the painting are heavily brocaded with metal thread, and frame the painted image in a rich and glittering light. The sewing of this thangka mounting was carried out by a Tibetan artisan who also carries out similar work on thangkas destined for monasteries and temples. These silk mounted thangkas are unique to Jordan Quill, and represent his passion for quality materials in-keeping with this ancient tradition.
In working closely with this family of Tibetan Thangka painters, Jordan Quill hopes to encourage the continuation of this traditional artform for the next generation, as well as the use of high-quality materials and techniques.
Your thangka will be carefully packed and dispatched from London, UK.
