Gold encases jewels, illuminates words, and elevates art. Gold ignites feelings of awe and wonder.
Yet what does it tell us about the cultures that treasure it?
Whether inscribed on sacred scrolls, detailing scriptures of Buddhism, or forged into fashionable prayer book casing, this precious metal intensifies their importance. Picturing figures in gold sends a message of political strength. Or tells us of an inner holiness.
Each manuscript, book and golden page in our ????? exhibition has a unique story to tell.
