Tibetan Women's Jewelry describes the cultural history of Central Tibet told through traditional jewelry and trade from the 17th century of the 5th Dalai Lama through the 14th Dalai Lama's 1959 exile to India. This comprehensive art book presents 10 distinctive styles of women's relic boxes (Gaus), plus headdresses, ear pendants, shoulder chatelaines, and waist ornaments. Levenberg's fascinating interviews with the last living Lhasa noblewomen and master goldsmiths reveal the original names of pieces and how these beautiful treasures were worn. This innovative study establishes for the first time that jewelry styles changed with each Dalai Lama, setting an important dating precedent for all Tibetan collectibles. With over 1,000 pages of meticulous research, breathtaking photography, and scholarly analysis, this publication stands as the definitive work on Tibetan jewelry.
