Thangka is a type of Tibetan painting (also referred to as a scroll painting) which is done using embroidery and Tibetan silk. The images portrayed in Thangka often refer to Buddhist deities and famous scenes, and also may contain mandalas. It is made up of three separate parts: a painted or embroidered picture panel, some sort of textile mounting, and then usually a silk covering (or in some cases, leather corners or decorative wooden knobs.)
Go to this website and find some more information on Thangka (or find your own reliable source.) Find two facts that you find particularly interesting and post them in the comments section - but make sure you do not repeat facts that your classmates have already used. Then, comment on two other posts.
