May 12, 2016 - Nanjing, Nanjing, CHN - Nanjing, China - May 12 2016: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY. CHINA OUT ) Thangka Exhibition from Gongka County Mozhu Yibet in Nanjing's Yu Garden. A thangka, variously spelt as tangka, thanka or tanka (Nepali pronunciation: [?t??a?ka]; Tibetan: ?????; Nepal Bhasa: ????) is a Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton, or silk appliqu¨¦, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. Thangkas are traditionally kept unframed and rolled up when not on display, mounted on a textile backing somewhat in the style of Chinese scroll paintings, with a further silk cover on the front. So treated, thangkas can last a long time, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture will not affect the quality of the silk. Most thankas are relatively small, comparable in size to a Western half-length portrait, but some are extremely large, several metres in each dimension; these were designed to be displayed, typically for very brief periods on a monastery wall, as part of religious festivals. Most thankas were intended for personal meditation or instruction of monastic students. They often have elaborate compositions including many very small figures. A central deity is often surrounded by other identified figures in a symmetrical composition. Narrative scenes are less common, but do appear. (Credit Image: © SIPA Asia via ZUMA Wire)
