Tibetan Textiles
 
Among the Mead’s wealth of antiques is a large collection of 18th - 19th century Tibetan textiles known as Thangaka: colourful cloth hangings, often on wooden dowels for mounting. Many depict specific deities, such as the Buddha or a Bodhisattva, while others composed of an assemblage of different divinities against a tranquil landscaped background. 
 
 
 
 
 
Japanese Prints
