Begin with the recorded work.
Gold ground describes the dominant visual field of these paintings. It is not the same claim as a work being made entirely of gold. The current batch separately records genuine 24K gold in painted details; open each work to see how the ground, linework and recorded gold passages appear together.

About this category
What does gold-ground thangka mean here?
It describes a painting whose dominant field is gold toned. It does not mean that the whole painting is solid gold or covered uniformly in gold.
Is gold ground the same as 24K-gold detail?
No. Gold ground is a visual treatment; genuine 24K-gold detail is a recorded material statement. The individual page lets you compare both without treating colour alone as proof of material.
