"Kalachakra Thangka (Classic Tibetan instructional painting) I am sure many of you have heard of - or have attended - His Holiness The Dalai Lama's celebrated teachings and initiation of the Kalachakra. These extremely beautiful Kalachakra thankas refer to these teachings, and address the instructional energetics of the teachings. Each is unusually exquisite with much 24K GOLD detail - the photo does not do the thanka justice, though CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE....everything that looks like yellow in the photo is actually 24K gold. The images themselves measures 17"" x 13"", and overall they measures 27"" x 18"". Each is individually hand painted of course, with a frame of solid-patterned silk, which compliments the unusually delicate and fine detail of the painting. These thankas were brought to me by a very special Tibetan Lama who is a dear friend of mine, and we have only a very limited number. Item #FSE-SH-K."
