This exquisite and one-of-a-kind Tibetan thangka is hand painted by master artists in the Kathmandu Valley.  Thangka painting schools in Nepal help to keep Tibetan traditions alive.  A true masterpiece, this painting is the perfect addition to your home, meditation area, or altar space.

The thangka depicts a beautifully detailed Shakyamuni Buddha design and is unframed and ready for Western style framing.  It is done entirely by hand on cotton canvas using natural mineral and vegetable pigments with 24K gold details.  The complicated designs, intricate brushstrokes, and extraordinary detail make these thangkas genuine works of art.

According to tradition, Shakyamuni traveled widely throughout the Indian subcontinent sharing his enlightened wisdom, promoting peace, and teaching people how to unleash the great potential of their lives.  His compassionate intention was to enable all people to attain the same awakened state of life that he had attained.

Full canvas measures approximately 86x62 centimeters.  Interior painted area measures about 76x51 centimeters.  Handcrafted in Nepal.
