The painting is varnished with oil to protect it from damage. Chenrezig has the most diverse forms among the Bodhisattvas and is highly respected by many Buddhists. Although initially depicted as masculine, some Chinese and Japanese traditions portray the deity as feminine. However, such gender discrimination is not supported by any canonical text. In China and Japan, Avalokiteshvara was often worshipped as the \"mother of the human race\" and was represented in a female form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOil-varnished thangkas are a unique style of traditional Buddhist painting found in the Himalayan regions. Unlike traditional thangkas, they use oil-based paints. Creating an oil-varnished thangka involves painting intricate images on a panel using oil paints and then coating it with varnish. The varnish enhances the colors and details and protects the artwork. Oil-varnished thangkas have vibrant colors and a distinct shine, making them visually unique. Both styles hold cultural and religious significance and are valued for their spiritual representation in Buddhist practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSize with Silk Brocade: 24 x 32- inch ( 61 x 81 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\nSize of the inner painting: 9 x 12- inch ( 23 x 30 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\nSurface Material: Handmade Cotton canvas\u003cbr\u003e\nColor: Gold and Natural Stone Colors\u003cbr\u003e\nQuality- High, Master Quality\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore making a purchase, please take note of the following important information:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- Lighting and screen resolution may cause slight color variations.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Paintings are more captivating when viewed in person.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The size mentioned for the painting does not include the outer border.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Paintings will be securely packed in a PVC tube to ensure safety during transit.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Buyers are responsible for any additional fees at their destination, including import taxes and duties, \u003cbr\u003e\n  which are not included in the purchase price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tibetan Thangka Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53226454548777,"sku":"CHENREZIGO2432","price":327.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1282\/8201\/files\/il_fullxfull.5966586693_gng2.jpg?v=1780500167","url":"https:\/\/www.tibetanthangkaart.com\/fr\/products\/hand-painted-avalokiteshvara-thangka-painting-with-cotton-brocade","provider":"Tibetan Thangka Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
