Tibetan Buddhist Thangka Painting of Blue Deity

This is a vibrant, hand-painted Tibetan Thangka depicting a blue deity in a seated, meditative pose, possibly in Yab-Yum. The central image is painted in rich, opaque pigments on a fabric or canvas-like material. The deity is framed by a golden aura and surrounded by floral motifs and clouds. The painting is bordered by several layers of fabric: an inner trim of deep maroon, followed by a wider band with a cream-colored background and a subtle patterned design. The main field of the Thangka is a deep blue fabric adorned with repeating silver-colored dragon motifs. Red and yellow fabric strips accent the sides. The Thangka is finished with a yellow fabric border at the bottom and is affixed to cylindrical wooden dowels at the top and bottom, used for hanging and rolling. A small metal detail is visible on the lower right dowel. While no visible artist's signature or manufacturing marks are immediately apparent from the image, the quality of the painting and the fabricwork suggests skilled craftsmanship. The condition appears good, with no obvious tears or significant wear visible, though a more detailed inspection would be required to assess for minor imperfections or age-related patina. Based on the style and subject matter, it is likely a relatively modern Thangka, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century. The careful construction of the fabric borders and the clear rendering of the central image indicate it is a functional and aesthetically pleasing piece of Tibetan Buddhist art.
