Abstract

The article is a concise report on the art historical as well as technical aspects of thang-ka paintings. It also describes briefly the traditional methods and materials employed in the execution of these paintings. The artists’ materials described in the literature are compared with actual findings as a result of analysis of pigments, binding media and other materials involved in the execution of the thang-ka paintings. An outline of the causes of deterioration of thang-kas is also mentioned. Finally, an extensive account is given of the method of treatment carried out in the author's laboratory.
