Green Tara Appliqué Thangka | Traditional Tibetan Nepali Thangka Art | 20"x29"

This exquisite Green Tara thangka is created using the traditional appliqué technique, in which intricately cut pieces of colored silk are hand-stitched and layered to form the image — a labor-intensive art form passed down through generations of Himalayan artisans. Green Tara, revered as the embodiment of compassion, protection, and swift action against fear and obstacles, is depicted seated in royal ease upon a lotus throne, adorned with ornate jewelry, a flowing scarf, and a vibrant silk skirt, set against a deep gradient sky flanked by sun and moon.
