I have a thangka (religious painting) which he got from a Buddhist monk who rode through Amdo to visit nomadic tribes. The thangka is pretty worn from the rough life on the road, but it is painted in a wonderfully rustic way with vibrant colours. It has the most amazing blue, made from ground lapis lazuli, just like some old European blue pigments, but less diluted.</p><p>Again, I have no paperwork, but an expert on Amdo thangkas will recognize the style and age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
