Absolutely stunning and authentic!!!
Looks great, and sent on time! Very fair in dealing with me. I won't hesitate to use this seller next time.
The work, the effort, the art is extraordinary! The details are fantastic! It's almost like a 3d effect. I can't find words to express how happy I am with the Vajrasattva Thangka and how much I love it. Contact with the team was so great from the start. Their kindness and care for the customer is amazing. Thank you Ritual Thanka for your kindness, amazing work and so beautiful art.
I am so happy that I found this shop and their exquisite thangkas..The communication with me and responses to my questions was excellent, and they did a wonderful job with the brocade. I am posting a photo of the final result. I highly recommend this shop and their sacred offerings.
