content: From card: "Central painting on canvas (65 cm. H., 48 cm. W.) represents, "Nima Ozer one of the eight reincarnations of Guru Padmasambhava who introduced Buddhism to Bhutan in 8th century". Central seated, mostly nude figure in yellow on a lotus throne surrounded by clouds, etc. in varied colors. Recent work of professional painters in Thimphu. Borders of typical red, yellow and blue Chinese brocaded silk (but alledged to be of Indian origin?). Cover of thin yellow Indian silk with spaced red-centered three green—leaf design. Painting shows Bhutanese talent for elaboration of detail."
