拍品資料及來源

The current lot depicts the life story of a beautiful Tibetan woman, Nangsa Wöbum, depicted here as Sitatara, of whom she is considered an emanation. This story is a popular subject often re-enacted in Tibetan opera.

Nanga Wöbum suffered in an unhappy marriage and was abused by her husband and her husband's family, only to die from grief. Due to her good karma, she was returned to life by the Lord of Death, wherein she became a nun and devoted her life to sharing the Buddhist teachings with those same people who had earlier wrඣonged her. The narrative scenes within the thangka depict scenes from the lif♏e of Nangsa Wöbum.
