Description

TANTRA ∙ TIBET ∙ DZI BEAD

• A short introduction of Tibetan Art History

Tantra Buddhism was introduced to Tibet by the 7th century and later gradually became dominant with Indian and Nepalese artists commissioned to paint thangkas and make sculptures for Tibetan patrons. By the 14th century, stylistic influences from Nepal and China became mainstream, and in the 15th century these fused into a truly Tibetan synthesis lasting all the way popular to today.

• Dzi Bead

Dzi bead (pronounced "zee") is a type of stone bead of uncertain origin worn as part of a necklace and sometimes treasured itself as its own. In Tibet, Dzi bead is considered to provide positive spiritual benefit. Dzi beads are made from agate, and may have decorative symbols composed of circles, ovals, squares, waves or zig zags, stripes, lines, diamonds, dots, and various other archetypal and symbolic patterns. Colors mainly range from brown to black, with the pattern usually in ivory white. Dzi beads can appear in different colours, shapes, and sizes; the surface is usually smooth and waxy, presumably resulting from wear over a long period of time.


• All our dzi beads were collected, traded and acquired within Tibet.
