About the piece

This intricate 17th-century Tibetan painting captures a Lama in the midst of a ritual, seated on a magnificent throne adorned with dragon motifs. Surrounding the central figure are layers of spiritual iconography, including celestial deities emerging from clouds and protective figures in the landscape below, all rendered with the delicate line work and rich mineral pigments characteristic of the Himalayan tradition.
