Where the Dalai Lama resides, Tibet is obviously a very religious and holy land. As such, their artwork has always been in association with their faith, beliefs and rituals-from rock art and rugs to dolls and jewelry. Even the best of Tibetan architecture is best seen through their magnificent temples.
Preserving tradition
Tibetan rock art dates as far back as 3000 years ago and serves as the main historical documentation of ancient Tibet. Rock art-carvings or paints on stone surfaces-portrayed their way of life pre-Buddhism. Most of them show Tibetans hunting for food of such elaboration that even in these silhouette figures, one could effectively point out that the hunters were mounted on beasts, poising their arrows on the target (usually identified as yaks).
