Beautiful thanka of exquisite quality.
First, the owner of RitualThanka, Bipin, from whom I purchased the truly incredible quality art work of Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri, was clearly communicative and most helpful in my receiving the custom Thanka, well packaged and very quickly shipped. I plan to work with him in future purchases of these wonderfully 'energetic' pieces of art.
Beautiful thangka! Very high quality, just as described. Arrived quickly and carefully packaged. Wonderful and communicative seller. Thank you!
My item arrived in excellent condition and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Shipping was fast and protected my item very well. The artistry is amazing and I highly recommend spending a little extra for silk brocade. You will not be disappointed with any item you may wish to acquire!
Artwork quality is exceptional and appreciated.
