Thangka can fulfil several different purposes -they are for example often used as teaching aids- however, perhaps their most important role is to focus meditation. \n \nThangka that are used for meditation will generally depict a yidam; a special deity, the particular attributes of which assist a practitioner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spiritual progression. A yidam is often allocated to a practitioner by a mentor who understands the practitioner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s specific needs. By inhabiting the body and attributes of the yidam through meditation a practitioner can work to erode the obstacles to enlightenment. \n \nSince thangka are sacred objects their manufacture follows careful guidelines. For example, thangka painters must follow pre-established templates when depicting specific deities. Not to do so would jeopardise the efficacy of the thangka. It is also argued that thangka painters should approach their work in a right-minded manner; the large-scale manufacture of thangkas for sale to the international market, is for some a distortion and a devaluation of the practice of thangka painting." } ], "language": [ "eng" ], "collection": "Anthropology", "type": { "sub_type": [ "general" ], "scope": "WHOLE", "base": "object" }, "condition": [ { "date": { "earliest": 2023, "value": "2023-01-12", "latest": 2023 }, "examiner": "Maycock, Lucy", "value": "1: Useable" } ], "multimedia": [ { "processed": { "preview": { "resizable": true, "format": "jpeg", "modified": 1405436231000, "location": "382\/649\/preview_HC_2013_69__001_PS.jpg", "type": "image", "measurements": { "filesize": { "units": "bytes", "value": 15228 }, "dimensions": [ { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "height", "value": 76 }, { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "width", "value": 57 } ] } }, "feature": { "resizable": true, "format": "jpeg", "modified": 1405436231000, "location": "382\/649\/feature_HC_2013_69__001_PS.jpg", "type": "image", "measurements": { "filesize": { "units": "bytes", "value": 31198 }, "dimensions": [ { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "height", "value": 373 }, { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "width", "value": 280 } ] } }, "large": { "resizable": true, "format": "jpeg", "modified": 1405436231000, "location": "382\/649\/HC_2013_69__001_PS.jpg", "type": "image", "measurements": { "filesize": { "units": "bytes", "value": 698264 }, "dimensions": [ { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "height", "value": 1000 }, { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "width", "value": 750 } ] } }, "mid": { "resizable": true, "format": "jpeg", "modified": 1405436231000, "location": "382\/649\/mid_HC_2013_69__001_PS.jpg", "type": "image", "measurements": { "filesize": { "units": "bytes", "value": 16252 }, "dimensions": [ { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "height", "value": 115 }, { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "width", "value": 86 } ] } }, "body": { "resizable": true, "format": "jpeg", "modified": 1405436231000, "location": "382\/649\/body_HC_2013_69__001_PS.jpg", "type": "image", "measurements": { "filesize": { "units": "bytes", "value": 16200 }, "dimensions": [ { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "height", "value": 110 }, { "units": "pixels", "dimension": "width", "value": 83 } ] } } }, "@link": { "role": [ { "value": "image of object" } ], "portion": "whole", "attribution": { "type": "general" }, "type": "reference" }, "legal": { "credit": "Horniman Museum and Gardens.
