Tibetan Metalwork Timeline
The five examples of Tibetan metalwork are intended as a basic guide for establishing a timeline.
Tibet was strongly influenced by China as were many countries. We can use the style of decoration on datable items such as textiles or ceramics to assist in the dating on metalwork based on the style of the design. The attached Tibetan saddle dates to 1500..... rand |

Hello Rand,
Thanks for posting these examples! BTW, are these from a similar area? I understand that Tibet always had quite distinct regions (with differing ethnic groups and vastly divergent influences from neighboring countries and/or immigrants) and I'd suppose that these were reflected in artwork? Regards, Kai |
