DESCRIPTION
Thangka; Tibet, Qing dynasty, c. 1900.
Oil on canvas.
Measurements: 82 x 61 cm.
Tibetan thangka with representation of the wheel of life or mandala, with representation of Indo-Buddhist divinities. The thangka is a type of Tibetan painting used by Buddhists to meditate, also known as "traveling temples" due to the nomadic life of the Tibetans and considered one of the best expressions of Tibetan art. Buddhism holds that there are Six Realms of Samsara or Existence in which the consciousness is confined in a cycle of successive births from which it only emerges when it reaches Enlightenment.
