Kings & King Appearance in Art - Updated
King Appearance in Himalayan art is a specific type of figurative form. The principal characteristics are the face often with a stern look achieved by upturned eyebrows accompanied by a mustache and goatee. The clothing is heavy and layered with multiple colours, a cloth head covering or hat sometimes with a small jeweled crown, and lastly, boots on the feet.
There are four important subjects and distinctions to be made with regard to kings in Himalayan and Tibetan art.
[1] Kings with King Appearance
[2] Kings that don't have King Appearance
[3] Kings that belong to Sets
[4] Deities with King Appearance
