The thangka looks even more beautiful in person. The thangka arrived earlier than I expected and it was packaged very well. The seller answered all my questions promptly and kept me up to date with shipping details ect. I highly recommend buying from this seller and I look forward to purchasing paintings from them in the future. Thank you RitualThanka!
Great communication. Item as described and tracking info sent was prompt. I should have also ordered the frame from them. Maybe the next order. ***Update - got a frame from another seller but wanted to show that the Mantra Mandala is as stated.
This Thangka is a masterpiece! Absolutely beautiful! I'm very happy to have this painting! The seller was super kind and helpful! Excellent store service! Highly recommended! Thank you!
