藏族-蒙古佛教供奉像一对，19世纪末 - 纸 - 蒙古 - 19世纪末

Pair of Tibetan-Mongolian Buddhist Votive Images – Late 19th Century

A rare pair of antique Buddhist devotional images from the Tibetan-Mongolian cultural area, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.

The works depict two sacred standing figures from the Himalayan Buddhist pantheon, probably bodhisattvas or manifestations related to Tara/Avalokiteshvara worship, represented among stylized clouds according to traditional Lamaist iconography.

Executed using a printed matrix technique (likely woodblock printing) with hand-applied pigments. Original colors — green, red and ochre — remain visible despite the natural wear and aging. The pair is glued on a paper.

Provenance

Acquired from a gallery specialized in Himalayan art.
