The Last Regong Masters: Guardians of a Dying Art

Material: 24K gold. Certification: Precious Metals National Inspection Certificate under CNAS-accredited testing standards.

In the Regong Valley of Qinghai, a small community of master artists continues a sacred tradition refined across generations. Fewer than twenty masters can execute the full spectrum of techniques, including the meticulous application of 24K gold with extremely fine brushes.

A Living Sacred Tradition

Regong artists train for years to master proportion, iconography, disciplined handwork, and the devotional focus required for sacred art. Every measured line is guided by traditional Buddhist scripture proportions.

Prepared Entirely by Hand

Each artwork is prepared and burnished by hand to create a smooth, precise surface for the application of 24K gold.

24K Gold Craftsmanship

The masters apply 24K gold stroke by stroke, refining halos, ornaments, and sacred details with exceptional control. Every finished piece carries the distinct hand of its artist and the continuity of the Regong lineage.

National Inspection Certification

Every Master Xi 24K gold Thangka includes a Precious Metals National Inspection Certificate under CNAS-accredited testing standards.
