Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it mesmerizes visitors with its timeless beauty. The lotus flower takes center stage in this artwork, symbolizing purity and enlightenment within Buddhist culture. Rendered with delicate ink and watercolor on paper, the vibrant colors bring forth a sense of tranquility and serenity. Its intricate details highlight the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this ritual object. As one gazes upon this ancient treasure, they are transported to Tibet, where Tibetan Buddhism flourished during this period. The Tsakali card served as an initiation tool for practitioners embarking on spiritual journeys. Its naive art style adds a touch of folk art charm to the overall composition.

This artwork stands as a testament to our shared heritage and serves as a reminder of the profound connection between religion, artistry, and cultural traditions.
