Tibet: Culture and Art

 

Tibetan Jewelry today is an expression of deep religious traditions.  Historically, most of Tibetan art and culture were established around religious themes.  Today you can see the marvelous display of buddhist and other religous symbolism infused into their modern jewelry and crafts.  These himalayan artisans are highly skilled craftsmen, and they have long produced large quantities of ornate and intricate silver and gold jewelry, often set with coral, turquoise and other precious stones.

DoubleStone Turquoise/Coral Prayer Box 

A Gau (also spelled Ghau or Gao) is a TibetanBuddhist amulet container or praying box, usually made of metal and worn as heartfeltjewelry. As a small container used to hold and carry powerful amuletic objects, these are culturally equivalent to Latin American package amulets, African-American conjure bags or mojo hands, South American charm vials, and American wishboxes.

Because they are worn as meaningfuljewelry, Gaus are made of metal and are often ornamented with semi-precious stones, but they vary enormously in style according to the taste of the designer. The one shown here is a contemporaryGau, decorated with a softturquoise surround design and several RedCoralInlays. It is made with a joiningring at one end. Can be hung as a nicependant on a cord, either alone or among other beads and charms.
