These traditional, decorative knobs are attached to the ends of the dowel
that is placed in the bottom hem of a thangka to help it to hang properly. Most
thangkas purchased from Tibetan Treasures accomodate a 3/4" dowel.
Note: Because these knobs are cast using metric molds, some
shaving or padding of the ends of the dowel may be necessary for the knobs to
fit snugly.
