Here is the rewritten text: Human: STL,RLF format BAS-RELIEF of Thangka for CNC Router Carving. A thangkasnet, also known as thangka, tangka, thanka, or tanka, is a Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton, silk appliqué, or human skin that typically depicts a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. Tangkas are traditionally kept unframed and rolled up when not on display, mounted on a textile backing similar to Chinese scroll paintings, with a further silk cover on the front. As treated, tangkas can last for an extended period of time, but due to their delicate nature, they must be stored in dry places where moisture will not affect the quality of the silk. Most thangkas are relatively small in size, comparable to a Western half-length portrait, but some are extremely large, measuring several meters in each dimension. These larger thangkas were designed to be displayed for brief periods on a monastery wall as part of religious festivals. The majority of thangkas were intended for personal meditation or instruction of monastic students. Thangkas often feature elaborate compositions with many small figures surrounding a central deity in a symmetrical composition. Narrative scenes are less common but do appear. Thangkas serve as important teaching tools, depicting the life of the Buddha, influential lamas, and other deities and bodhisattvas. One popular subject is The Wheel of Life (Bhavachakra), which represents the Abhidharma teachings (Art of Enlightenment). The term "thangka" may sometimes be used to describe works in media other than painting, including metal reliefs and woodblock prints. Today, printed reproductions of painted thangkas are commonly used for devotional and decorative purposes. Many thangkas were produced in sets, although they have often become separated over time. Thangkas perform several functions, including serving as teaching tools when depicting the life of the Buddha or describing historical events concerning important lamas. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used to offer prayers or make requests. Overall, thangkas are an essential part of Tibetan Buddhist art, used as a meditation tool to help individuals progress along the path to enlightenment. The Buddhist Vajrayana practitioner uses a thangka image of their yidam, or meditation deity, as a guide by visualizing themselves as being that deity, thereby internalizing the Buddha qualities. Thangkas are typically hung on or beside altars and may be placed in the bedrooms or offices of monks and other devotees. Follow me for more free and cheap models. Best regards.
