An article surveying Tibetan appliqué tankas (hangings) held in European museums and private collections, intended as a supplement to Eleanor Olson's earlier study of examples in America. It covers the use of giant appliqué banners at monastery festivals, a very large hanging in a private French collection, and tankas in Stuttgart, Leiden, Oxford, London, Liverpool and Brussels. It identifies the deities depicted, such as Maitreya, Padmasambhava, Amitayus, Vajrapani and Usnisavijaya, and notes how appliqué and embroidery were combined. Footnotes give sources, and the article is followed by ten black-and-white figures with captions and dimensions.
