This is an absolutely incredible ThangkaI purchased it at a Fine Asian Works of Art Bonhams sale in 2017.Thangka is the name for a Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton /silk usually depicting a Buddhist Diety a scene and a mandala.
The colors on this are vibrant and I find it a great focus piece during meditation.

It is a treasure and a rare 300+ year old depiction of the Buddhist symbols of long life and wisdom.***As you see with the information below this Thangka is officially listed on the HAR, Himalayan Art Resources Item no. 90308***
