An Introduction To Ngor Painting" in the catalogue notes" "As the seat of the Sakya lineage lies along the heavily traveled trade route between the Kathmandu Valley and Lhasa, the region was perfectly situated to absorb artistic influences from India and Nepal to the west, and China to the east.

Through the discerning partonage of later Sakya rulers, the artists of Ngor Monastery produced a multitude of distinguished paintings, recognized evan at the time as works of the highest caliber."
