It was kismet to find this exquisite White Tara, a gift for my good friend on her 30th birthday, on Ritual Thanka's Etsy. They have so many practice-quality paintings created by true craftsmen, and the purchasing process is easy.
When I called Ritual's contact number to ask a question, their sales manager answered and took action to help even though it wasn't his normal job. (Thanks, Rajendra!)
They also sent me a brief personal video showing the packed thangka ready for shipping, and got it out the door quickly -- in the face of the covid pandemic, no less.
You can feel safe supporting Nepalese artists by purchasing from Ritual Thanka.

Vintage Wooden Bhairava Mask
About Our Bhairav Mask :
The Vintage Wooden Bhairava Mask reflects the Himalayan region's rich cultural heritage, made with craftsmanship and tradition. This mask, handcrafted from wood and towering 27 cm tall, captures the character of Bhairava, a strong deity in Hinduism and Buddhism.
This vintage artwork has a unique history, having been collected in Kathmandu in the 1980s and transported down from the Himalayan region via barter and trade. Its weathered appearance conveys stories of journeys through difficult terrains and transactions in crowded markets, adding layers of authenticity and interest to its narrative.
The Vintage Wooden Bhairava Mask is a fascinating relic for collectors and fans of Himalayan art and culture, representing old rites and spiritual veneration. Whether shown in homes, galleries, or cultural events, it conveys a sense of mystery and connection to the Himalayan mystical traditions.
Introduction To Bhairva :
Bhairva is a Hindu deity associated with destruction and protection. He is often depicted as a fierce and powerful figure with fierce expressions and prominent fangs. In Tibetan Buddhism, Bhairva is considered a protector deity and is revered for his ability to conquer negative forces and bring blessings to his devotees. He is also associated with the Buddhist principle of non-attachment, as he is said to have transcended all attachment to worldly desires and emotions. Bhairva is considered a deity of great power and is often invoked for protection and overcoming life obstacles. He is often depicted in Tibetan Buddhist art, such as statues and masks, and is a popular subject of devotion and meditation for many Buddhists.
