An incredible and rare 18th century Tibetan Thangka depicting the Green Tara seated on a lotus throne with her right hand in the Giving gesture and her left hand in the Refuge-Granting gesture. Green Tara is usually depicted as a compassionate being ready to step down from her lotus throne to offer comfort and protection from all of the sufferings we experience in the world. She is surrounded by twenty-two other Taras, all offering prosperity, health, success, and peace. The ground of the textile is made from hand-woven linen panels stitched together and covered with polychrome pigments. The age of this piece has been confirmed by the leading Asian Arts expert in the U.S. and we'll be happy to provide documentation upon purchase. The Thangka has been professionally mounted to a linen stretched panel.
