Indo-Tibetan Thangka of Red Vaishravana, 18th century or earlier, distemper on cloth, the vibrantly-painted thangka depicting the Buddhist King of the North Vaishravana in battle, astride a white horse with a blue mane and tail, mounted on silk and including a veil, which would have been used as a cover when not in use, h. 81-1/2", w, 49-1/2", including frame.

Some wear to the surface of the painting, losses to color and gilt throughout. Losses do not compromise the aesthetic of the object. Some wear and fraying to the fabric mount. Veil is significantly faded. All wear is commensurate with age and use. The image alone is 36" tall and 25" wide. With the mount (not including the frame) it is 67" tall and 38" wide.
