Arte Himalayana
A thangka depicting an Arhat China/Tibet, 19th century
A Thangka portraying Vajriputra, one of the eighteen arhat (people who reached the illumination thanks to the master's teachings). The painting has tenuous colors and portrays the central character holding a fly swatter – a typical Vajriputra object. Around him there is a country landscape with storks and puffy clouds. Noteworthy are the Buddhist mantra "Om ah hum" on the backside, as much as the original silk brocade frame.

Starting price: € 850,00
Estimate: € 3.000,00 - 4.000,00
