Product description
TANTRIC YAB-YUM THANGKA Hand-painted with Mineral Pigments – Early 20th Century This imposing antique thangka is a rare and powerful spiritual object from the Tibetan tradition. Central to the composition is a wrathful deity depicted in Yab-Yum (Father-Mother union), a sacred iconography symbolizing the indivisible unity of wisdom and compassion. The artwork is entirely hand-crafted on a prepared canvas. The composition is rich in esoteric symbolism: the central blue figure, surrounded by flaming auras, is flanked by various protector deities and narrative landscapes. At the base, we see a rare dynamic scene with elephants and riders, indicating a rich mythological context. The traditional silk brocade border and the authentic fabric backing make this a complete ceremonial piece. ANALYTICAL EXPERTISE AND AUTHENTICITY Microscopic analysis with the Dino-Lite confirms the use of authentic ground minerals such as azurite and malachite. These pigments show the characteristic granular structure of genuine handwork. The black outlines show physical overlap and variation in brush pressure, proving the painter's mastery. UV light examination also reveals the natural crystallization and mineral degradation consistent with an object from the early 20th century.
