The Thangka, crafted with the hammer and chisel technique on cold iron, showcases an extraordinary level of artistry and dedication. Cold iron, known for its high hardness, presents significant challenges for craftsmen. Unlike copper, where each detail requires only a few strikes, cold iron demands hundreds of precise hits. Any mistake would render the piece unsalvageable, making well-preserved and expertly crafted cold iron Thangkas exceedingly rare.
This piece, handed down from Sera Monastery, embodies the meticulous and devout craftsmanship of its time, making it a truly remarkable artifact.
