Thangka Curtain

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Thangka Curtain by unknown artist shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a light-colored background and darker spots or stains. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with rough edges. Two vertical lines run down the center, possibly indicating that the fabric was folded or sewn. The darker spots are scattered across the fabric, some appearing in a circular pattern. The fabric's texture is visible, with a subtle weave pattern. The image is in black and white. The fabric takes up most of the image, with a plain background visible around the edges.
