About Our Thangka:
The Eight-Armed Avalokiteshvara Metal Thangka is a stunning example of Tibetan creativity and spirituality, brilliantly depicting Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This wall-hanging Thangka, measuring 45 cm in height and 40 cm in breadth, is a portable shrine symbol of devotion and meditation. The central portrayal of Avalokiteshvara is elaborately sculpted, with eight arms representing his capacity to stretch out and provide compassion in all directions. Each hand carries symbolic things, such as a lotus flower and prayer beads, which reflect purity and spiritual discipline.
This masterpiece is electroplated with gold and silver, giving it a brilliant and exquisite aspect. The gold plating emphasizes Avalokiteshvara's royal and radiant presence, while the silver plating brings out the complex motifs and borders, creating a dramatic contrast. The use of artificial stones like as coral, lapis lazuli, turquoise, and conch shell adds a vibrant and brilliant adornment that enhances its aesthetic and religious significance. These stones intentionally highlight key elements and improve the piece's spiritual value.
The Thangka is surrounded by a richly textured background adorned with cloud motifs, floral patterns, and fantastical animals, evoking ancient Tibetan creative forms. The Thangka's robust metal rods at the top and bottom guarantee it hangs securely and remains durable over time. It weighs 2.39 kg and is firm but controllable, making it perfect for ceremonial and home décor. This Eight-Armed Avalokiteshvara Metal Thangka is an essential spiritual treasure and a remarkable example of Himalayan workmanship that flawlessly combines creativity and devotion.
Introduction To Metal Thangka :
A metal thangka is a type of thangka painting that is made on a metal surface rather than on traditional canvas or paper. Metal thangkas are often made using copper, brass, or silver and are usually decorated with intricate designs and Buddhist iconography using a technique called repoussé. This involves hammering the metal from the reverse side to create a raised relief image on the front. Metal thangkas are known for their durability and are often used in ritual contexts or as decorative pieces in Buddhist homes and temples. They are particularly common in Tibet, where they have been produced for centuries.
