For centuries, Tibetan Thangka paintings have served as more than works of art. Traditionally painted on cotton or silk, these intricate scrolls were created as devotional objects used for meditation, teaching, and religious ceremonies. Every figure, color, and symbol carries meaning, reflecting centuries of Buddhist tradition and artistic discipline.

Our upcoming auction features a remarkable selection of Tibetan Thangkas, offering a glimpse into this enduring artistic tradition. Featured here, a hand-painted Tibetan Thangka depicts Red Garuda above a temple flanked by four Bodhisattvas within decorative borders with characters. Lot 293 in this weekend's Online Only Chinese & Tibetan Art Auction.
