Unlike large Thangkas meant for public display, Tsakli were intimate tools used by monks to transmit specific teachings. This piece features four distinct figures, likely a set of directional guardians or wrathful deities, painted with microscopic detail. The antiquity of the piece is evident in the fading of the mineral pigments, suggesting it has been used in countless ceremonies before being preserved in this gallery-style mount.
