Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Paintings Pre 1920: item #449347

A Chinese silk embroidery e. 20th century. Two foo dogs in a floral environment, one white the other gold/golden brown. Fantastic workmanship in embroidery on a microscopically thin piece of silk. To hold the piece together a likewise thin paper has been applied on the back. From the photos of the back we observe that paper has been applied after the embroidery was finished since the stitching does not go through the paper!

Thangka on Leather of Mahakala the Protector

Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Paintings Pre 1950: item #406862

Approximately 66cm. x 51cm. I believe that this Thangka is of Shadbhuja Mahakala, the wrathful emanation of Avalokiteshra. A protector, this representation has basic traits and themes in common with Gelupga works I have seen, though the fact that it has been done on leather is unusual. This, with the use of white to outline musculature, may indicate a possible Mongolian origin. Late 19th to mid 20th century.
