Hi, everyone
In connection with my work, I have been to Bhutan several times. I visited various museums and private collections. I'm not a great expert, I just want to show what I've seen and experienced. |

the sword may only be wielded by men of high status (nobility). As a sign of their status, they wear a white cape with a red stripe. |
