Thangkas, also called Tangkas or Tankas, are a form of fine art from Buddhist Tibet, the “roof of the world”.  Tibet, once isolated and relatively inaccessible because of its location high in the Himalayas, is now a part of the People’s Republic of China.  Tibetan culture is undergoing a period of great change.  As a unique mixture of Indus Valley and Chinese influences, Tibetan culture has long been shrouded in mystique and secrecy.  The Tibet of old was the cultural and religious epicenter of Buddhism, under the Dalai Lama and generations of monastic governance.  The new Tibet is moving into the modern era under the Chinese government.  As with any change, some things are lost and some things are gained.  The Thangkas that we offer in our ebay store are vestiges of the old Buddhist Tibet.  While some Tibetans are still practicing the craft of Thangka painting, fewer and fewer Thangkas are being produced today than before.  Thangka painting requires mental and artistic discipline that modern artists typically shun.  Most Thangkas were painted according to strict Buddhist principles and iconography established centuries ago, allowing artists very little individual freedom of expression.  Most older Thangkas were also created under the direction of Buddhist monks or religious leaders for specific religious purposes, not for commercial use or sale to the general public.  Now that Tibet is rapidly modernizing, Thangka painting is truly a dying art.  If you purchase an older Thangka, you should cherish and protect it because the time may soon come when there simply won’t be any more available on the open market.   The Thangkas that we offer are hand-painted on fabric within a broad silk border, unless otherwise specified.  Thangkas are made to be rolled up for storage, and unrolled much like a Chinese scroll painting, for worship and display.  The Thangkas that we offer were all collected  from Buddhist temples, monasteries, and family shrines in Tibet.  They are not copies from outside Tibet.  You may notice similarities between some Thangkas that were painted by the same artist that we collected in one village or from one monastery.  Along with Buddhist themes and symbolism, our Thangkas usually portray specific Tibetan historic events and folklore.  As Tibetan Encyclopedias that could be moved from village to village to educate the public, each Thangka tells a story.
