Description
This elaborate intricacy reveals the richness of the Indian tradition, in which gold, jewels and thrones were women into the legends of gods, demons and heroic kings. In contrast, the thrones and deity ornaments that would appear in later Tibetan thangka paintings, with their spacious blue-green Chinese-style landscapes, tended to be far more simplistic and stereotyped.
