Footed jar with lid in absolutely exquisite fine detail. From the Meiji era of Japan, circa 1870. Infinitesimal attention was paid to every character displayed. A beautiful thangka commemorating many buddhist saints in fine detail with unique facial expressions. 3 areas of repairable damage are.
There is a hairline crack near the chip on the underneath side of the lid. A small amount of gold has been rubbed off the side decorations. All of this can be seen clearly in the pics. This is a unique and priceless work of art. All offers are carefully considered!
