LATE 19TH CENTURY

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
-There is a staining to the left side of each thangka, which is likely to be due to water.
-One thangka has an area of loss to the canvas to the upper left corner, which does not reach the painted area.
-There is some writing in lanca script to the back of each thangka in pencil, red and black pigments.
-There are some minor losses to the pigment on each painting, as can be expected with age.
-Otherwise, the paintings themselves are well-preserved.
