THE ROOF OF THE WORLD Long Horn Stand Tibet, 17th — 20th Century Potala Palace Collection Photo Courtesy of Bowers Museum The lords of the dance, shown here as
lively skeletons, represent death and rebirth, life and death. They

Buddhism. This copper horn stand, with a crescent shape at the top,
supported a long ceremonial horn.
