Subject:Thogchag question..........
Posted By: Harry Primate Mon, Aug 15, 2011 IP: 67.188.226.168 I don't know what Anthony is talking about but your Thogchag is a nice example. I have collected several of these in Tibet and no one has definitively said what exactly they are (photo attached somewhere?). They seem to be what in Native American culture would possibly be 'tinklers', decorations tied onto a pouch or bag however that is only conjecture. |

Posted By: Robert Brundage Fri, Aug 19, 2011 Gee Tony why so harsh? Nowhere do you say anything about Thogchag - only Criticism. |

Posted By: Cal Tue, Aug 16, 2011 Not 'tinklers' but associated with non-Buddhist as well as syncretic spiritual beliefs. One oral tradition is that the old ones were made from meteoritic iron. Was extensive article in Arts of Asia magazine by Jamey Allen, around 1989. |

Posted By: Jamey D. Allen Wed, Mar 09, 2016 I'm glad it was sorted-out that the AoA article on tokcha (or thochag) from 1998 was not authored by me. My only contribution to AoA was my 2002 article on Tibetan zi beads. Everything I know about tokcha was gleaned from Tony Anninos and Robert Brundage, and from the few scant articles published in earlier times. I do not consider myself to be an authority on these intriguing artifacts. |
