Tibet Guge 06 Tsaparang White Temple 10 12 Jowo Khang Ceiling [14 of 45]
The roof of the temple may also be considered as the richest and most finely worked out in the whole of Western Tibet. … It is made of large wooden planks, brought with great labour from the Himalayan valleys towards India, well smoothed and then painted. Their decoration consists in a series of mandalas, all on the same axis, and of stylized floral and geometric motifs, never repeating themselves. - Giuseppe Tucci: The Temples of Western Tibet and their Artistic Symbolism (1935).
