About the Item

Thangka painting dates back to 7th century after Buddhism was spread in the Himalayan region (Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and Northern India). In Eastern world Thangka is considered to be a part of Abhi-Dharma which means "The Art of Enlightenment". It is a scroll painting on canvas. Over the centuries Thangkas gradually acquired the status of collectible fine art from a purely spiritual art. Due to international museum shows and popularity of Buddhism Thangkas in particular are gaining a place on the art world's radar screen. The beauty and power of these intricate paintings are strong enough to stand up aesthetically for any viewer. This thangka painting depicts Gautama Buddha in the most common iconography. Buddha is seated in the center of the scene in lotus pose, meditating on top of a moon disc and a lotus throne. He carries an alms bowl in his left hand, while his right hand is pointing toward the earth in "Bhumi-Sparsha" mudra or earth touching pose. This gesture is representative of the moment that Buddha attains enlightenment. The robe is beautifully decorated with intricate golden patterns. Peonies, plants and other flowers surrounds the throne and offerings are depicted in the foreground. Composing the rest of the scene with several other buddha figures in various forms makes this Thangka a unique and outstanding.
