Handpainted on silk or cotton, thangkas are traditional Tibetan Buddhist teaching, devotional, and meditation art. Each piece typically depicts a central deity, lama, bodhisattva or aspect of the life of Buddha surrounded by very elaborate scenes or many very small figures. They often come framed in a complementary colour of fabric with an additional cloth that can be drawn over the painting when not being used for meditation in order to preserve the exquisite piece of art.
