Description
The page is a mixed-media collage with a variety of elements. It includes printed text, images, and hand-drawn elements. The layout is vertical, with a central column of printed text and images on the left, and a series of numbered, geometric shapes on the right. The shapes appear to be part of a diagram or map, possibly related to the exhibit's layout or a conceptual design. The medium seems to be a combination of printed paper and ink, with a focus on creating a visually engaging and informative spread.

Leg Bone Trumpet (Kang Ling)
The pitch of these trumpets resembles that produced by the conch trumpet, so their sounds are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Today it is used most frequently with the Chod, or "Severance," practice. They are symbolically associated with Buddhist concepts of impermanence. They traditionally were made from human leg bones retrieved from "sky burials," in which bodies of the deceased are left for vultures to consume, but are now often made of metal. Offering one's own body to other creatures increases religious merit. This example is partially encased in metal.
Tibet; 18th century, human leg bone, copper, and coral; collection of Robert and Lois Baylis
