The Tibetan followers of the cult of Amitayus, the Buddha of Eternal Life, believed that their devotion to this Buddha would prolong their lives. In this beautifully detailed Thangka, the central figure of Amitayus is rendered in a brilliant shade of red pigment & is shown cradling a jar filled with the elixir of immortality. This sacred Thangka retains its original silk brocade frame, is mounted on linen and framed in darkened walnut.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
