Answer: Yes. All our Thangkas are made with pure natural mineral and plant pigments – no synthetic chemical pigments are used whatsoever.

• Exceptional Color Stability: Light and oxidation resistant, the colors remain bright and unfaded for hundreds of years, making them ideal for long-term collection.

• Safe & Non-Toxic: The pigments are odorless, so you can wear Thangka pendants close to the skin or enshrine Thangkas at home with complete peace of mind.

Answer: We highly recommend Manjushri (the Buddha of Wisdom). Symbolizing the awakening of wisdom and peaceful growth, the 2×4cm/4×5cm portable pendants are the perfect choice for children.

Answer: Sizes should be matched to their intended scenarios, with the following guidelines:

• Portable: Ideal for pendants/necklaces – lightweight and easy to carry.

• Tabletop: Suitable for display in studies/offices, paired with wooden photo frames. We recommend a size that does not exceed 1/3 of the tabletop area.

• Wall-hung: Designed for living room/ancestral shrine walls. Custom sizes are available based on wall width, as long as the proportion is well-coordinated.

Answer: We offer two main mounting methods, each adapted to different usage scenarios:

• Photo Frame Mounting: A minimalist and versatile style that is moisture and dust proof, providing excellent protection for Thangkas. Suitable for tabletop display and wall hanging. This is the only mounting method available for filigree Thangkas.

• Tibetan-style Mounting: Crafted in accordance with traditional Tibetan techniques, paired with brocade edging. It exudes a strong sense of ritual and rich ethnic cultural charm, suitable for formal scenarios such as enshrinement in ancestral shrines and wall hanging.

Answer: Regong Thangkas hold high collection value, with core advantages centered on scarcity and appreciation potential:

• Cultural Scarcity: As a world-class intangible cultural heritage, the output of high-quality Regong Thangkas is limited, and their scarcity continues to increase over time.

• High Market Recognition: The artistic and cultural value of high-quality Regong Thangkas has been widely recognized by the market. Their collection value rises steadily, with stable appreciation potential.

Answer: Price differences for Thangkas of the same Buddha statue stem from three core factors:

• Different Sizes: Larger Thangkas require more materials and longer creation time, resulting in a higher price.

• Different Artist Qualifications: Works created by Regong master artists with higher certification levels and richer experience feature superior craftsmanship and higher collection value, with corresponding higher prices.

• Different Levels of Artistic Complexity: This is one of the key factors affecting price. For example, the number of detailed elements and the inclusion of attendant figures – the higher the complexity, the higher the price.

Answer: Yes, they do. Here is a detailed explanation:

• A Thangka painting centers on the main Buddha statue, with a varying number of attendant figures (including Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, arhats and goddesses) that can be added around the main figure.

• Under the same conditions of size and artist, a greater number of attendant figures increases the technical difficulty of line sketching, color shading and other processes, as well as the creation time – leading to a higher price.

Answer: All our artists are certified master craftsmen from Regong. For custom orders, you may request our customer service to provide real photos of the artist's qualification certificates, ensuring the orthodoxy and professionalism of your Thangka.
