Jewels from the Land of Snowy Mountains: Nepalese Folk Jewellery from the Collection of the Náprstek Museum

Original language description

The article is a contribution to the still understudied topic of Nepalese folk jewellery. For this purpose, a set of seven pieces of Nepalese folk jewellery from the collection of the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague was processed. These include two necklaces (kantha), two pairs of earrings (mendog kogde and dhungri), two nose studs (phuli), and a pancharatna bracelet dating from the 20th century. Attention is paid to the material, techniques, ornament, and jewellery styles of specific Nepalese ethnic groups. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy was used to find out what elemental composition the materials that were used in the making of the jewellery had. The text is supplemented with photographs and relevant data from the short-term field research in Nepal in 2022, which took place in the capital Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Muktinath, and Lo Manthang.
