Himalayan Tibetan Buddhist thangka approximate 33x20”, with 23” being its widest point near the bottom. See images for details. We acquired a vast assortment of Ethnic Artwork, Sculptures and Paintings from the Himalayas and the surrounding regions. The items originate from the collection of a single Buddhist scholar and graduate of Tribhuvan University in Nepal who, for over 40 years, dedicated his professional life to promoting various Shamanistic, Hin...du and Buddhist artworks in the form of Wood Carvings, Stone Sculptures and traditional Paintings. Tribal contacts in Nepal sought his assistance in exhibiting their artworks in America in the hopes of creating interest in their creativity. During his travels, extensive fieldwork and communication with ethnic and tribal groups added to his knowledge and appreciation of the arts. At one point his property was abandoned in storage due to circumstances we are unaware of, and we are now making these objects available online for purchase by collectors worldwide. We do not have the background to describe the specific origins of the individual pieces of artwork, but we believe most of the items were brought to America in the 1970's and 80's, and some may date back to the 19th century. The vast majority are from the 20th Century. Please add us to your favorite sellers list and view our store under the Religious Collectibles category, as we will be adding new items weekly over the next several months. Items will include statues and figures, Thangkas, numerous Shaman Masks, Textiles, brass and bronze sculptures, and books on transcendental psychology and Buddhism.
