Every certification at the Himalayan Art Council begins with the artist. Before a work is photographed or measured, we sit with its maker to record the lineage it belongs to, the deity it depicts, and the intention with which it was made.
The work is then documented in high resolution and measured to the millimetre. Pigments and ground are noted, along with any consecration the piece has received. This file becomes the permanent record of the work's identity.
Finally, a tamper-evident certificate is issued and the record is backed up to decentralised storage. Wherever the work travels, its authorship and story travel with it.
