Tibet

H Carre Hermes Paris > Fall - Winter 1999/2000

Five thousand meters high, exposed to the icy gusts of the northern Himalayas, the longhaired yak pensively ruminates on memories of Mongols and Dali Lamas, whilst his reflection stirs in the lake waters. The peace of these desert wastes is propitious to craftwork. Here is Tibet's: belts incrusted with gems, bags for men to keep their flints and tinder, necklaces and earrings belonging to the great ladies of Lhasa.
