Tibetan Thangka of White Tara (Sitatara) - Textiles - Nepal - Nepal 20th

Tibetan Thangka of White Tara (Sitatara) – Traditional painting – Nepal – Before 1986 – 136 × 92 cm Magnificent traditional Buddhist thangka depicting White Tara (Sitatara), a deity associated with compassion, healing and longevity in Tibetan Buddhism. Acquired in Nepal about 40 years ago, this thangka shows a particularly refined composition, with luminous colors and meticulous details. A depiction of White Tara White Tara is shown seated in a lotus position on a floral throne, surrounded by lotus flowers, stylized clouds and traditional ornaments. Her seven symbolic eyes are recognized, including those on the forehead, palms and feet, representing her ability to perceive the suffering of beings. The painting stands out for the finesse of the facial features, the richness of the jewelry and garments, the gradients of blue and turquoise, and numerous floral details. Painting and traditional mounting The central composition appears to have been hand-made on canvas, following traditional Himalayan Buddhist painting techniques. It is surrounded by a sumptuous dark blue brocade with gold floral motifs, with red and yellow bands. The ensemble includes a yellow upper protective veil, a lower bar with decorative ends and a suspension system. Religious inscriptions on the reverse Three handwritten Tibetan inscriptions appear on the back of the painting. They seem to correspond to the sacred syllables OM – AH – HUNG, traditionally associated with awakened body, speech and mind. These inscriptions are commonly found on Tibetan religious paintings. They do not constitute an artist’s signature.
