Print Block

Tibetan style woodblock, for printing on textiles or paper. In this case, possibly for mass printing of prayer flags?

Woodblock carving of the Bodhisattva Sahasrabhujalokeśvara, the 11-faced and 1000-armed form of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, standing on a lotus; on the right side is another Bodhisattva figure (Tara?) and on the left side is an unidentified Dharma protector.

A large, rectangular press wood print block. Carved image depicts a many armed Bodhisattva figure with a tall cylindrical, stepped headdress, on a lotus, surrounded by halos, plants, clouds and other ornaments. On the right is another Bodhisattva figure sitting cross-legged, with a protector figure surrounded by fire sitting on the other side. There are two figures wearing robes with curled edges, one at each top corner. A large horizontal row of Tibetan characters is at the top and a smaller horizontal row of Tibetan characters is at the bottom.
