EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of ritual trumpets, known as kang-ling, created by the Tibetan school in the 19th to mid-20th century. Crafted with silver, gilding, turquoise, and silk, these trumpets exude an air of elegance and cultural significance. Measuring at 9x45x6.8 cm each, these intricate instruments are currently housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail - from the delicate silverwork to the vibrant turquoise embellishments. The accompanying streamers add an extra touch of grace to this already mesmerizing piece. With dimensions of 33 x 45 cm each, they beautifully complement the overall composition. Part of The Alice S. Kandell Collection within the museum's archives, this artwork holds immense historical value and serves as a testament to Tibetan artistry and spirituality. Its presence evokes curiosity about its purpose during rituals or ceremonies that took place centuries ago. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, viewers can appreciate not only its visual allure but also gain insight into Tibetan culture and their reverence for music as a form of spiritual expression.
