Buddhist Masters Thangka

Rare Vintage Collectible of Historic Tibetan Buddhist Masters | Traditional Dharma Artwork With three highly regarded Tibetan Buddhist masters and a background that reflects the art's spiritual and historical depth, this historic thangka is a rich tapestry of Buddhist iconography. At the top of the thangka, Amitayus Buddha, symbolizing infinite life and wisdom, is depicted in a meditative posture, radiating peace and longevity. This positioning is significant as it places Amitayus at the zenith of the composition, underscoring his supreme importance in the practice of prolonging life and enhancing spiritual vitality. The artwork elegantly depicts two powerful protective deities. White Mahakala, a wrathful but beneficent deity known for his ability to provide prosperity and remove obstacles to enlightenment, is seen on the bottom left. On the bottom right, another protector deity, perhaps a form of Dharmapala, is shown in an equally dynamic and wrathful posture, guarding the dharma and its practitioners. The thangka's overall composition, with its vintage texture and outstanding use of colors and forms, reflects its antiquity and traditional techniques used in its creation. The incorporation of faded hues and a classic painting style show not just the thangka's history, but also the eternal nature of its spiritual meanings. Each figure is surrounded by its aureole of clouds and fantastical sceneries, which connects them to the heavenly regions they inhabit. ------------------------------------------------------------------  Size:16.5"/ 42 cm (width) x 24"/ 61 cm (height)Materials: Cotton Canvas, Acrylic Colors, Genuine 24K Gold------------------------------------------------------------------THIS THANGKA IS HAND-PAINTED IN THE TRADITIONAL  STYLE  BY A NEPALI ARTIST AND THE QUALITY IS HIGH BROCADE MOUNTWe offer traditional brocade mounts upon your request.
