White Tara Thankas

This handmade Thanka / Thangka features White Tara, one of the most well-known and highly cherished Buddhist deities in Tibet and Nepal. She is believed to have been born from a tear drop from Avalokiteswora, the Boddhisatwa of Compassion. She is said to help guide humans when "crossing the ocean of existence," which is this life.

This Thanka / Thangka is overwhelming, with beautiful color, large size, and a shimmering brocade balanced together to create a master work. We have seen very few pieces that can match the superb quality of this unique work of art.
