Tibetan wood painting is another essential local art form. We paint sacred artworks like Thangka paintings and decorative paintings like ornamental furniture and the walls of the house. However, the use of each is different. Tibetan appreciation of beautiful art is visible in religious and decorative art. Tibetan decorative art has a powerful influence on Tibet’s rich Buddhist tradition. We often use religious symbols such as the Five Offerings, the Eight Auspicious Symbols, and the Eight Precious Substances. Also, landscape elements and animals had spiritual importance and were believed to bring good luck and fill your house with these auspicious symbols of good luck.
Influence of Other Countries
