Woodblock Prints, some with the Bardo Matrix stamp, 1972, 1976, undated
Scope and Contents
These woodblock prints include an alchemical figure, a portfolio with mandalas, and traditional Nepali and Tibetan motifs, such as Buddha riding a horse upon a cloud and a tree with a demon-like figure.
There are also prints of several structures or buildings in Kathmandu, Nepal, including the pagoda Panchamukhi Hanuman, Hanuman Dhoka (gateway to the area of the complex of Royal Palace structures), Darbar Square, and Kathe Swayambhu, Naghal (a Buddhist shrine).
The woodblock of the Buddha riding a horse upon a cloud has a certificate on the back acknowledging a financial donation from Petra Vogt for building a Temple-Monastery and center of meditation signed by Karma Samde Drolma (?), issued in October 1972.
