A BLACK GROUND THANGKA OF TORMA OFFERINGS
TIBET, 18TH CENTURY

西藏十八世紀朶瑪供施黑唐卡

This elaborate thangka (kangdze) depicts a torma offering in gold and gradated red pigment accompanied by various ritual objects and a retinue of wild animals, including a makara-faced dragon floating above a bed of clouds within the painting's upper register.

Based on its iconography, the present work likely decorated the wall of a gonkhang, or a protector chapel, in possible dedication to a form of Paldhen Lhamo known as Magzor Gyalpo. Compare the composition of the following work to a painting in the Rubin Museum of Art (F1998.10.2; HAR 639), and another offering painting illustrated on black ground (HAR 4304).

Provenance:
Ashencaen and Leonov, London, 2000s
