Zang-gling

The Tibetan cult instruments are built as identical pairs - in contrast to the Tibetan-Buddhist instrument pairs, which differ in details. The one-piece copper body of the Zang-gling pair VII c 1036/1037 is decorated with elaborate nickel silver applications: A wide silver ring forms the connection between the body and bell with a raised ring and many ornaments. The lower rim of the cup is also bordered with an ornamental band. The top of the body is covered by an 85 mm long silver cap with a set turquoise on the front and a loop on the back. Five rings, each with three small turquoise - coral - turquoise stones, are attached between the tone holes. The tube carrier is probably not original.
