THOGCHAGS

THOGCHAGS is a highly sacred object in Tibetan culture. According to legend, this special material is bestowed by celestial deities and is often crafted into amulets worn by people seeking divine protection and blessings. In Tibetan religious beliefs, it is regarded as a precious artifact. The forms of THOGCHAGS are very diverse, including ga’u (amulet cases), scripture clasps, Tibetan seals, mandalas, vajras, gabala (ritual implements), nine palaces and eight trigrams, Buddha statues, droma (ritual objects), prayer plaques, arrowheads, conch shells, stupas, treasure vases, empowerment mirrors, animals, ornaments, and many others.

CATALOG DESIGN

We were commissioned to produce a catalog featuring over 500 pieces of THOGCHAGS. During the design process, we not only had to consider how to categorize these THOGCHAGS but also conducted in-depth research into the cultural meanings and historical backgrounds behind each type of design, ensuring the catalog’s content carries depth and value. To showcase the unique beauty of each THOGCHAGS piece, we conducted professional photography from various angles to highlight their details and preciousness. Additionally, we thoughtfully incorporated Tibetan cultural elements, combining images of people with THOGCHAGS to infuse each category with a rich cultural atmosphere and storytelling quality.
