What’s coming first

Opening selection

Keep the first release simple and credible. Add complexity later.

  • Mala: Bodhi seed (108), Rudraksha (5-mukhi), Onyx/Tiger eye (108), Yak bone (entry level)
  • Thangka: Chenrezig (4-armed), Green Tara, Shakyamuni Buddha (workshop hand-painted)

When your supplier catalogue arrives, we’ll replace this with actual pieces + pricing + sizes.

Quality Standards

What we do (and what we refuse to sell)

Thangka — minimum standard

  • Hand-painted (not printed), with clear brushwork
  • Correct iconography (mudras, attributes, proportions)
  • Materials described honestly (mineral vs acrylic, real gold vs imitation)
  • Clean finishing and stable mounting

No-go: “hand-painted” prints, sloppy iconography, fake gold claims.

Mala — minimum standard

  • Correct bead count (108 / 27), consistent bead sizing
  • Durable cording (no elastic), secure knots
  • Materials that match the description (no dyed plastic sold as stone)

No-go: elastic malas, obviously synthetic “turquoise,” vague “blessed” claims.

About

Small, curated, and transparent

Himalaya Archive is focused on fewer objects, made properly and described truthfully. We share the provenance we have, avoid exaggerated claims, and prefer long-term trust over quick sales.
