Kagyu Lineage Tree (Please ask for detail figures)
This is a representation of Kagyu Lineage Tree and done correctly as far as our knowledge works. Artist has taken support of information given by Kagyu Samye Ling, Scotland. This one is the finest quality that we have and it is done with pointalism technique on sky, hills, clouds and wave of river. Artist has paid attention not to forget to put all the emblems and make correct hand gestures and sitting asanas of Lama, Yidam, Khandro and Dharmapalas. This painting is painted with 24 karat gold. Because of the difficulty of making these pointalism, the extremely beautiful detail, and the number of finely done figures, this one is priced quite high, but is definitely worth it!!! Since this is thangka for Dharma Practitioner, we have tried all the best to provide less price. So, practitioner may have it. The artist is Pasang Lama of Nepal. Don't judge the quality of a thangka by whether the artist is known or not, or if it is signed or not. It is only recently that some artists have begun to sign their works of sacred art in response to what is done in the West, and an increasing market of Westerners. It is also a misconception that an artist who has "Lama" in his name is a monk or a monastic. This is not the case. The majority of Tamang, and Sherpa artists in the Kathmandu Valley have taken the name "Lama" after they receive some formal education in Buddhism or they are family members within Lama family.
Measures about 24 & 3/4 inches by 35 & 1/2 inches, excluding the outermost border.
This thangka is not mounted in brocade but we are able to provide brocade mountings for our thangkas at very reasonable prices. The finest quality Varanasi brocade is available. It will take a while to get the mounting done, but it will be good practice in patience!
We
strive to provide the best quality thangkas. They are all original paintings done with mineral pigments and pure gold paint on canvas. Please compare the detailed photos of my thangkas to other thangkas available on internet to determine the quality.
We
want to make clear that in no way, shape or form do we represent ourselves as an expert on Tibetan iconography or thangka painting. We are just a beginner in understanding this profound art form. If there is any kind of problem, let us know. We will never knowingly misrepresent anything we are producing and selling. There is always the chance that we may have been fooled ourselves, but will try to correct the situation if that ever happens. Please contact us if you think we have been misled. We also don't try to exaggerate the colors or contrast in my photos to make them more appealing.
The best way to determine if it is an original painting is to hold it up to a bright light or the sun. You will clearly see different thicknesses of paint and some brush strokes. They are all on cotton canvas, but they are treated with a layer of gesso (like plaster of paris or gypsum) and rubbed smooth. Some of them are so smooth you cannot see the individual fibers. To prove to yourself that the painting is on canvas, try ripping the corner of the border area and you will see threads.
