Silk brocading is a process decorating a Thangka in traditionalTibetanstyle. The frame is made of beautiful silk fabric having rich colors pigment and patterns.
Thangka Brocade adds a very beautiful finishing to any thangka painting. These Traditional Embroidery thangka are very durable and beautiful when hanged in your meditation altar space or your House.
These beautiful,sacredpieces of art carry with them the energy of the tradition, the deities, and the artists. Traditionally, a cloth covering is used to contain the painting’s energy as well as to protect the thangka when it is not in use. When the thangka is being used or displayed, the cloth is drawn up to form a drape resembling a flower. Stitched to either side of the cloth hang two decorative red streamers.
Please make sure you have added both the thangka and brocade to your cart. Please give around 3 - 5 days for the brocade to be added on your thangka painting.

Excellent Amitabha Pure Land Thangka
We received the beautiful intricate thangka of Amitabha in His Pure Land Dewachen promptly and safely. It is exquisitely painted and was perfectly framed in high quality brocade upon my request. I’m greatly pleased the experience I’ve had with Art of Tibet and highly recommend Art of Tibet to others who might be in search of high quality and authentic sacred Tibetan Buddhist art works. May All Beings Benefit! K. Guerra

Great brocade frame!
For the second time in the past year, the Art of Tibet silk brocade framing I got with my thangka was splendid. Matched the image perfectly and was expertly executed. Based on my experience, one should all get their brocade frames when purchasing a thangka.

Wonderful framing job!
As noted in another review, I recently purchased a beautiful thangka from Art of Tibet and was glad to see that they offered a framing option. The end result was perfect!
Silk brocading is a process of framing a Thangka in traditional Tibetan style. The frame is made of beautiful silk fabric having rich colors and patterns. Brocade can be added to any Thangka painting upon request. The diagram to the right shows the different components of a typical brocade frame.
The silk fabric protects the edges of the Thangka, and also makes it easier to hang. A thin silk cover protects the painting when rolled, and may be gathered up to display the painting when hung on the wall. It is generally thought that silk brocade renders a Thangka more attractive and more religious.
BROCADE EXPERTS FROM NEPAL
Framing the Thangka is a laborious process and it requires great skill to end up with a straight-hanging piece of art. Further, a Thangka may be easily damaged during the brocading process and the silk fabric is expensive. Thus, all of our brocading work is performed by a specialized tailor with many years of brocading experience. We guarantee that your frame will look stunning and the work is usually completed within one to two business days (very large Thangkas may take a bit longer).
I love the 3 bracelets lots! They are definitely worth 5 stars so I can't bring myself to give them less; Though 1 of them is coming untied, I should be able to tie it back together so it's okay. I'll just have to be extra careful with it from now on. It is the more expensive of the 3; the turquoise and lapis with the red turquoise. The thing that's coming apart is the slide string part of the strings. It looks like the ends that were heated came unstuck from themselves. Again it's okay, things happen they are still beautiful. Thank you! The other 2 are holding up well. And are nicely crafted. :)
