Weihreter, H: Magic from the roof of the world
The Tibetan cultural area in the mirror of its art
Enigmatic archaeological stray finds, jewelry and magnificently decorated everyday objects as well as some medieval cult figures are presented together in this book. They outline the cultures of a geographically vast area in Central Asia. The time span in which these objects were made is impressive. It ranges from the 1st millennium BC through the Middle Ages to the middle of the 20th century. However, one thing unites these completely different objects: They have been shaped by Tibetan culture in one way or another and are closely linked to the magical aspects of the Tibetan religion. The reader is thus introduced to the fascinating spiritual world of the Tibetan culture, which has developed into one of the most fascinating cultures in human history thanks to countless influences from Central Asia, India, Iran and China. For Europeans, Tibet seems like a magical Arcadia. This book and the associated exhibition are an attempt to delve deeper into the culture of the Tibetan world and the associated cultural space through the phenomenon of the simple beauty of its products. Author and exhibition curator Hans Weihreter, who has lived in Tibet and knows some of the local lingua franca, once again proves himself to be a proven expert and establishes fascinating connections that enable an understanding of the foreign from a European perspective - an opulent volume that invites you on a cultural journey to the roof of the world.

- Take a ring that fits well.
- Place it on a ruler and measure the inner diameter (from one inner edge to the other).
- Compare the diameter with the table to determine the ring size.
- Take a thin strip of paper or thread.
- Wrap it around the part of the finger where you want the ring to sit (not too tight).
- Mark the point where the ends meet.
- Measure the length of the strip in millimeters. This is the inner circumference.
- Find the right size in the table.
- Measure the finger size in the evening, as fingers swell slightly during the day.
- If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
- Make sure that the ring fits over the knuckle.
