About this product

Product Information

In Tibet and Nepal, gold jewelery has always been rare, a luxury limited to the wealthy and powerful. Jewelery reflected not only the owner's personal wealth, but alsosocial and political status, whether worn by noblewomen or governmentofficials, as well as the ancient cultural values of Hinduism andBuddhism. Gems and jewelery often served as metaphors for ideals of thefaith, and Himalayan deities were lavishly adorned. Until now, much ofthe information on this jewelery has been derived from accounts byWestern travelers or Tibetans in exile--a lack of archaeological andliterary evidence and recent political upheaval having prevented aproper study. This book offers an introduction to the subject, exploringissues of adornment and iconography, materials and manufacture, and howjewelery was defined and appreciated in the Himalayas. It isillustrated with examples of the gold jewelery produced in the regionin recent centuries.
