Description: 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, a rather involved stacking of deities. Please view all the posted photos. There are some 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 its 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 $29.50 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.
