Tibetan coins: from 1792 to 1953 Tibet issued it's own coins with (mostly) no reference to China: early Tibetan coins (except some Chinese issues) were silver (China bronze), were dated (Chinese never), were struck (Chinese casted in a mould), had Nepali weight and size standards (not Chinese), were designed after Nepali coins and had no hole like Chinese cash coins. Later coins were copper and silver and carried a lion (China had portraits or dragons), denominations still were related to Nepali coins and it's fractions. Please cklick a picture on the right to get more offers.
Tibetan banknotes: Tibetan and some other asian countries' banknotes. Tibetan banknotes were printed on several wooden blockprints (a different one each for the writing, blue, yellow red color), on different layers of paper that later were pasted togteher, sealed and serial numbered by hand ... a beautiful piece of artwork.

Antique Tibetan beads: We restrung old malas, beads and necklaces to jewellery.

Please cklick a picture on the right to get more offers.
Cultural revolution in Tibet: Mao nostalgia items ... Mao's red book, Mao buttons, posters of Stalin, Lenin, Marx, Engels, Mao ... there is not much nostalgia for the time among most Tibetans (millions died)... but it's a part of Tibetan history as well! Work in progress, please visit again.
