We thought it would be both fun and informative to show some authentic
Tibetan paintings of animals as they occur on various pieces of furniture
and on individual panels. We've collected these paintings from
pieces we presently have in stock. This is by no means comprehensive.
We left out many creatures, especially birds. We could do an
entire gallery of birds alone as they are one of the most popular decorative
motifs.
Some of the paintings shown here are fragments of larger
pieces while others are entire pieces unto themselves. They were found
on
cabinet doors, boxes large and small, thorgums, tables, and from
panels used in monasteries. As can be seen from the photographs,
these animal paintings can be fanciful, quite realistic, or a blend of
the two.
