This type of Thangka is woven with raw silk as the warp and coloured refined silk as the weft, using an ingenious technique called “continuous warp and broken weft,“ which creates a carved and engraved effect and gives a double-sided three-dimensional feel. It has been praised as “silk carved by a knife.“
这种唐卡以生丝为经线,以彩色精细丝绸为纬线,采用一种巧妙的“通经断纬”技法编织而成,呈现出雕刻和镌刻的效果,并赋予双面三维的感觉。它被誉为“刀刻丝绸“。
