Ancient Craft & Sacred Origin

This thangka represents a living tradition. For nearly three centuries, the master artisans at the Derge Sutra Printing Temple have preserved this exact method: meticulously carving scriptures and deities into wooden blocks, then hand-printing them onto handmade paper. The visible plant fibers in the paper are a testament to its natural, traditional origin. This piece is a tangible piece of Tibetan Buddhist history, made in the same way it has been since the 18th century.
