A PAINTED WOOD DOOR FROM A PROTECTOR CHAPEL (GONKHANG), TIBET, 19TH CENTURY

Crafted from several vertically arranged wooden boards joined by two horizontal braces, the exterior covered with cloth boldly painted in vivid red and green pigments to depict an inverted and flayed human body, its legs hanging alongside the torso and its arms intertwined in a serpentine manner, extending toward a grimacing, deeply wrinkled face framed by long hair. Both sides painted at alternating heights with simulated iron mounts.

Provenance: The Triay Collection of Himalayan Art. Ian Triay is a Spanish banking executive and the Honorary Consul in Spain for the Kingdom of Bhutan. He actively participated in the establishment of diplomatic relations between Spain and Bhutan and in projects of mutual interest to both countries. Assembled over a period of 40 years with an eye for the unusual and esoteric, the Triay Collection was a unique assemblage of Himalayan art. With many works featured in the landmark exhibitions in the Fundación La Caixa, Madrid, in 2000, Musée Guimet, Paris, in 2002, Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2003, and the Rubin Museum of Art in New York in 2010, this collection shines a fascinating light on Buddhist ritual art.
Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, age cracks, flaking to pigments, traces of weathering, few small losses, light warping.

Weight: 12.6 kg
Dimensions: Height 137.3 cm, Length 74.7 cm

Most Tibetan Buddhist monasteries include a temple or chapel dedicated to wrathful protector deities. Known as Gonkhang, such spaces often have doors adorned with fearsome imagery, including ferocious spirits, flayed human bodies, and substances conventionally regarded as impure. Such imagery marks the threshold as a ritually charged and protected boundary, signaling the formidable power of the deities within while serving to repel harmful or obstructive forces. Gonkhangs are used for rituals and offerings addressed to protectors of the Buddhist teachings and lineages, as well as to local deities believed to have been converted and bound by oath to defend Buddhism.

A closely related example may be seen in situ at Tangyud Monastery in Komic, Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India, where the Gonkhang is decorated with the representation of an inverted flayed human body, closely paralleling the imagery found in the present lot.
