Tibetan Handicrafts

Tibetan Handicrafts embody the rich culture and tradition of the Tibetan people. Handicrafts have been an indispensable part of Tibetan people's life since ancient times. One can find gorgeous patterns and intricate designs adorned in simple ordinary items such as tools, home furnishings, clothes, and accessories to sacred religious objects such as inscriptions, murals, mandalas, thangkas, and so on. 

Tibetan art takes its inspiration from nature and its phenomena like the stars, moon, flowers, earth, trees, and so forth. This art is also heavily influenced by the Buddhist religion. One can see reflections of the rich Buddhist heritage such as the Buddhist symbols and depictions of Buddhist gods and deities on murals, thangka paintings, and various ritual and holy objects. 

The contemporary Tibetan art we come to know today is actually a seamless blend of conventional Tibetan art along with artistic influence from Nepal, India, and China, making this Tibetan art so unique and beautiful in the world.  
The crafting of Tibetan Handicrafts is not exclusive to Tibet only. Around the thirteenth century and thereafter, Nepalese artisans were commissioned to paint thangkas and make sculptures for Tibetan patrons. 

Centuries of years down the line, generations of family members of those artisans have kept the tradition alive and going —giving continuity to the age-old craftsmanship techniques while adding some modern innovative styles of their own.
