A 19th century mural thangka UPDATE: THIS WAS UNSOLD
More than 400 lots of fine Asian art including some real rarities will come under the hammer at James Adam in Dublin on November 12. A 19th century Tibetan thangka or Buddhist temple painting leads the sale. The work on silk shows a four armed deity Padmapani, a personification of compassion in Buddhism. Most likely created for enshrinement on the wall of a large and significant monastery it is estimated at €60,000-€80,000. The catalogue for the sale is online.
