Complex/Detailed Vintage Nepalese Thanka (Kathmandu, Nepal) Overall 34\" by 24\":
$195.00
A remarkable piece of Himalayan art: a vintage (perhaps antique?) Nepalese thanka. This is out of a local museum curator\'s estate. She traveled to Northern India and Nepal sometime in the Sixties, so it\'s at least that old. It\'s highly detailed, an involved stacking of deities. Please view all the posted photos. There are some small spot losses here and there as well as general wear. Also, there is a slight odor of incense about the piece. Typed tag on the reverse as well as several handwritten characters. A stamped seal is present too. The painted area measures approximately 13 1/2 by 18 inches. With sewn on borders, it\'s about 24 by 34 inches. The width of the border varies. The stitches seem to be a mix of machine and hand work. See the last photo. Also, there is a \"veil\" like piece of cloth covering the images. That\'s the yellow piece pictured in the photos. Please ask any questions you may have; I\'d be happy to answer. Shipping is a flat $27.50 via USPS Ground Advantage with a signature request attached to help prevent mis-delivery and package theft. The piece will be carefully covered in tissue, rolled, bagged, and shipped in a long box. Its size prevents it being shipped flat. Finally, if you have a moment, you might want to take a look at my other interesting to rare items currently up for sale. Thank you.
