The Jug of Jokhang 7th-8th C. CE. Central Asians (probably Sogdians) depicted on Tibetan art.

"At present, a silver jug stands in a wooden frame in one of the chapels of the Lhasa Jokhang, traditionally regarded as the oldest temple in Tibet (see figs 1-7). This jug is approximately 80 cm in height. It was hammered from silver sheets, cut and assembled in four parts, two hemi- spherical sections joined at the diameter of the circle, a long thin neck, surmounted by an animal head with round mouth from which liquid can be poured. It weighs some 35 kg when full of liquid, and monks fill it daily with offerings of chang, Tibetan barley beer. The gilded designs on the upper bowl of the jug are raised scrolling in heart shaped medallions, while on the lower bowl, there are three scenes representing Central Asian people, two lively solo dancers and three men in drunken revelry". (taken from AsianArt by Amy Heller).

Dance was a skill that Sogdians learned at a young age, and continued to use as they got older:

"The Iranian from Tashkent [Chach] appears young He dances to the music before the wine goblet, as rapid as a bird He wears a cloth cap of foreign make, empty and pointed at the top His Iranian robe of fine felt his tight sleeves" (Shafer 1963, 55 in Lerner 2001, 254)

I'm alive and still creating

Today I want to show you a job that took me two months to complete. This is a custom BTS RM doll, my new original character. I love Tibet and its culture very much, so I decided on the style quickly. This is a traditional Tibetan costume. The jewelry is made of white, blue and red beads. Blue symbolizes the sky and longevity, white the color of purity and holiness, red the color of safety and security.

For the coat I had to take material from my pants, and the fur is a former pompon of my hat, but I am happy with the result. It looks very harmonious.

What do you think?

SUBLIME CINEMA #656 - THARLO

RIP Pema Tseden, the preeminent Tibetan filmmaker who died very young. He only made a few features, all of them worthwhile. For a westerner, Tharlo is like a peek into a vast and beautiful alien landscape, with gorgeous B&W photography that recalls epic films like Roma, but with a more intimate story.

PURBA. c. 15th century, Sino-Tibetan. Made of metal alloys, gold, and silver.

A purba is a dagger-like stake with three blades that helps tantric practitioners overcome their aversions to substances that are typically considered abhorrent, like pus and blood. Pierced with the purba, the unsavory substances are ritually transformed into wondrous substances, such as nectar. The Cleveland Museum of Art.
