This extremely finely embroidered thangka or scroll in silk is one that belongs to a larger series depicting each a Panchen Lama or the principle lama of the Tashilunpo monastery located in Shigatse. He belongs to the Gelukpa or Yellow order and is seen as second in religious line to the Dalai Lama. The presented Panchen Lama (1737-1780) is the third in lineage and contemporary to the seventh Dalai Lama who is most likely depicted above him to its left side.
The embroidery style of the scroll is Chinese, including its mounting and enamelled knobs. It was embroidered in an atelier most likely in or around Beijing as gift to a high pontiff of the Tashilunpo monastery. The iconography of the various protective deities however is of Tibetan origin.
