Tibetan Buddhist art is not only rich in figural icons but also
extremely diverse in its symbols and ritual objects. This first
systematic review is an abundantly illustrated reference book on
Tibetan ritual art that aids our understanding of its different
types and forms, its sacred meanings and ceremonial functions.
Eighteen chapters, several hundred different implements are
documented in detail, in many cases for the first time and often in
their various styles and iconographic forms: altar utensils and
amulets, masks and mirrors, magic daggers and mandalas, torma
sculptures and prayer objects, vajras and votive tablets,
sacrificial vessels and oracle crowns, stupas and spirit traps,
ritual vases, textiles, furniture, and symbolic emblems. These are
accompanied by many historical and modern text sources, as well as
rare recorded oral material from high-ranking Tibetan masters. This
long-awaited handbook is a must-have for all those with an interest
in Buddhist art and religion.
