A PAINTED SILK TEMPLE BANNER
TIBET, 19TH CENTURY
西藏 十九/二十世紀 彩繪絲綢掛幅
This silk banner consists of two illustrations, one depicting Garuda in a downward descent over an offering bowl containing the five human senses and another of a dog with black fur.
Based on the juxtaposition of these two images, this silk banner is likely connected to the worship of Mahakala as a tutelary deity. For example, see another temple banner with closely related imagery dedicated to Mahakala, sold at Bonhams, New York, 15-25 March 2022, lot 391.
Provenance:
Rossi and Rossi, London, 2000s
