Rgya-gling

The Tibetan cult instruments are built as identical pairs - in contrast to the Tibetan-Buddhist instrument pairs, which differ in details. The two Rgya-gling instruments VII c 1030/1031 are turned from black wood. The eight brass rings between the tone holes are alternately decorated with a blue and a red set stone. Two blue and two red stones are also applied to the ornamentally decorated pipe support.
