Measured Preservation

Measure before interpretation

Every figure is logged against thangka proportion grids before any catalog note is written.

Cinnabar anchors the record

Mineral red, lapis blue, malachite green, and gold-leaf shifts stay separate in review.

Diaspora context remains visible

Provenance fields name movement after 1959 alongside temple, workshop, and family custody.

Catalogs serve caretakers

Each entry closes with handling guidance for brocade, pigment, inscription, and backing cloth.
