Mongolian Block Print with Silk Brocade, Tsongkhapa with his "Line of Teachers"

Painted on silk with silk surrounding this uniquely Mongolian block print depicting Tsongkhapa (founder of the Gelug Order) center. He bears a small figure of the Adi Buddha on his chest and is central to the "Line of Teachers" prolifically illustrated throughout the work. Called a "Refuge Tree," the notion is that this presentation should be seen as a safe refuge for believers.
