Tibet

Více o knize

The Tibet collection, housed since 1998 in the Museum der Kulturen in Basel is the most important of its kind in Europe. Collected over a period of 30 years, it includes thangkas (scrolls for meditation), cultic sculptures, ritual and everyday items of monastic life, temple furniture and textiles, dance costumes, masks, books, and musical instruments. This volume illustrates and explains a selection of the museum's finest objects, representing virtually every aspect of the Tibetan pantheon and liturgy from the 10th century to the Chinese invasion.
