thangka

English

Borrowed from Tibetan ཐང་ཀ (thang ka, literally “painting”).

thangka (plural thangka or thangkas)

A painted or embroidered linen banner, usually depicting Buddhist themes, originating in Tibet; a prayer flag.
- 1996, Gerald Christianson, Thomas M. Izbicki, editors, Nicholas of Cusa on Christ and the Church, BRILL, →ISBN, page 265:
  When the talks by Lama Thubten Yeshe on Buddhist and Christian meditation were published, the text included a reproduction of a Christian icon and a Tibetan thangka.
- 2002, David Reed, The Rough Guide to Nepal, Rough Guides, →ISBN, page 70:
  Like so many things in Nepal, thangka—Tibetan ritual paintings—are now cranked out for the tourist market, yet the best ones remain undiminished by commercialization, and even the cheapest can't hide the dense Buddhist symbolism inherent in the form.

painted or embroidered linen banner

Ultimately from Tibetan ཐང་ཀ (thang ka).
