About the Item
Thangkas are devotional paintings displayed by Buddhists in monasteries, temples, and even their homes. This 19th-century Tibetan Thangka is rich with historical figures and symbolism arranged around the Viashravana in the painting's center. This lesser deity is the god of wealth and guardian of the North, identifiable by the mongoose in his arm and the banner flying overhead. This banner, or dhvaja in sanskrit, represents the victory of Buddhist teachings over ignorance and announces the imminent arrival of good fortune. It’s remarkable that this beautiful Thangka survived in such lovely shape—ancient scrolls & paintings, such as this, were often rolled and unrolled many times, and often marred by water stains or soot from temple candles. The red, green, blue, and orange pigments on the central Viashravana are almost as vibrant as the day they were painted.

Chinese Mythical Immortal Screen Painting, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Since the 12th century, people in China have used folding screens and doors to partition and decorate their homes - the vivid scenes backing the screens added life and color to a room. This 19th-century painting is delicately brushed of gouache and ink on fabric and was originally part of a set of eight backing a wooden screen in northern China.
The figure depicted is one of the mythical Eight Immortals of Taoism. Said to have attained immortality through their studies of the natural world, each of the Eight Immortals represents a different condition in life and together they impart a blessing of prosperity and longevity. Depicted here is immortal Lan Caihe, the patron saint of florists and gardeners. Standing atop a lotus leaf in open water, they hold a gardening hoe in one hand and a basket for flowers...
