Flaming Garudas clutching snakes in their talons, all different in color are depicted flying over a mountain lake in this striking set of tsaklis. Despite their striking similarities, each card is painted individually. Each card is signed on the reverse side near the bottom and the back of each has been fixed with a piece of cloth so the cards could be displayed on a stick during an initiation (see the last photo). They measure 4 x 4.5 inches. The painting style resembles that of 18th century thangkas, but we have yet to see a definitive dating reference for tsaklis. |
