Picture [Tibetan thanka] at Gyantse. Photographer: Frederick Marshman Bailey
- Scope & Content:
-
View of the massive thanka on display at Gyantse. The left hand panel of the image is missing, having been looted during the Younghusband Mission of 1903-04. Unsuccessful attempts were made to locate the missing portion in 1947, with a view to restoring it to the monastery, but according to Bailey, the piece was cut up into a number of sections and dispersed among members of an unspecified military unit. For correspondence relating to this issue and the attempts to trace the missing portions, see IOR/L/PS/12/1259, file EXT 8001/47, 'Missing panel of sacred picture at Gyantse, Aug-Sept 1947.'
