Tibetan works, 18th century. It is made of sapphire and has a dark color. It is a skull shaped hand drum, which connects two pieces of sapphire drum cavities. The middle waist is bound with a gold plated hoop, and it is tied with a five color brocade ribbon, with a metal foot drop at the end seam. The drum surface is painted with green land painted with golden cloud dragon patterns. Jade ware is also made in the Tibetan area. Since ancient times, there has been traffic between the Tibetan area and the southern Xinjiang, so jade materials are taken from the southern Xinjiang. It is also adjacent to the Kandostan area in northwest India, which is good at making jade. It is attached with a round box in Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan: “On April 10, the 58th year of Qianlong’s reign, I handed over a piece of jade gabra drum.”. It is a yellow signature, and the book reads: “Look at the blue jade gabra drum”.
