About
About Himalayan Art
Explore thangka paintings, amulets and objects, one piece at a time. Each catalogue page brings together the images and details recorded for that work.
The name
Paintings and objects, within a living tradition.
Himalayan Art brings together thangka paintings, amulets, jewellery and ritual objects. The collection offers different ways to encounter the imagery and craftsmanship of these traditions.
A name alone cannot tell the whole story of a work. Its materials, dimensions, artist and place of production belong to its individual record, wherever those details are known.
What we sell
Each piece has its own record.
The paintings range from larger thangka to small-format works. Browse by subject, art tradition or size, then open a catalogue page to look at the individual piece.
The amulets and objects include gau boxes, pendants, rings and other forms. Materials and measurements vary from piece to piece; the details on each page describe that item rather than the collection as a whole.
Before you choose

The catalogue is currently open for viewing and enquiries. Online purchasing is not yet available.

A note on what these are
These are objects from a living religious tradition.
These works can be approached through their imagery, craftsmanship and devotional context. The catalogue describes the figures and forms represented, while keeping cultural interpretation separate from the facts recorded for each piece.
We make no claim that owning an object will change your circumstances. Take time to look, read and ask about the details that matter to you.
