EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th/19th century Painted Banner (Thangka) of the Avalokiteshvara Incarnation of the Rain God Rato Matsyendranatha is a breathtaking example of Nepalese artistic tradition. The deity, also known as the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara or Guan Yin in East Asian Buddhism, is depicted in this banner with multiple arms and limbs, each holding various symbols of compassion and abundance. The Rain God Rato Matsyendranatha is an important deity in Nepalese Buddhism, believed to bring rain and prosperity. This banner, which measures approximately 152.4 cm x 114.3 cm (60 inches x 45 inches), is made of opaque watercolor on textile. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the painting are truly captivating. The deity is shown seated on a lotus throne, surrounded by various symbols of Buddhism, including the lotus flower, the conch shell, and the wheel of dharma. The banner is adorned with gold and red colors, adding to its grandeur and majesty. The many-limbed Avalokiteshvara is also known as Padmapani, or the one who holds the lotus, and is often depicted with a lotus in one hand and the other hand in a gesture of granting boons. This banner would have been used as a standard or flag in religious processions or as a decorative piece in a temple or monastery. The intricate details and beautiful colors make it a valuable addition to any art collection, and it is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Nepal and the Himalayan region.
