Hand-painted Mandala Thangka
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 a mandala, a ritual diagram in the form of a palace or dwelling with four doors as shown from above. It is a map of the inner and outer world, and is used as an aid to meditation and the path to enlightenment. It is populated and surrounded by deities and meditating figures. This mandala is highlighted with metallic gold paint.
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.
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.
