What not to do to the thangka?
When a thangka is not on display, it is usually rolled and stored with other paintings. Pressure from its own weight causes cracking of the ground and paint layers. Rolling and unrolling worsen the damage and eventually result in complete separation and flaking of the paint. Thangka’s that do not have brocade may also be folded, resulting in vertical and horizontal cracking.
