Long hangings like this are found through the Himalayas in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan and Buddhist parts of India. They are used in the shrine rooms of smaller Buddhist gompas (monasteries). As a result they are often called "gompa thangkas". When a new one is donated to the monastery the old one sometimes finds its was onto the market. We purchased this one in Kathmandu several years ago but the seller could not tell us where the gompa was housed or even in which country. ...click for details

$220 

Because of the subject matter we can assume these two small panels were once part of a thorgam, a Tibetan cabinet used specifically for making offerings to wrathful gods. Each features a skull cup (Tibetan: kapala) being supported by three severed heads, and holding offerings. Inside the cabinet would have been placed more offerings.

They have been varnished before they were cleaned, so they would be a challenge to ...click for details

In the south of Nepal among the Tharu people it was customary for a groom to use an elaborately decorated cart to take his bride to his village for the wedding. This panel is but a small part of such a cart and depicts a male clasping the back of a female on a horse driven cart. These wonderfully animated carvings are now only a legacy from a bygone era.

The forward reaching arms of the bride have been broken of ...click for details

$750 

This kind of wooden phurba is found mostly in the foot hills and higher mountains of Nepal's Himalayas. We have never seen one which could be convincingly assigned a Tibetan origin although often they are mislabeled as Tibetan.

Of all the hundreds of phurbas we have handled this one stands out as one of the most outstanding. It has a wonderful patina, the carving is expressive, and the cloth dangles lend it ...click for details
