活動概覽:

In Tibetan-Buddhist and Hindu contexts precious metals, stones and the jewelry fashioned from them are inherently pious offerings. These artworks materially and spiritually benefit all who wear and view them. Jewelry may activate higher levels of spirituality—evident in the iconography of peaceful and fierce divine figures. This lecture will illuminate many facets of how Tibetan, Mongolian and Nepalese artists harness material wealth into spiritual riches worn as ornaments not only for divinities but also for people.
