Gyatum Gyaltsen Sand

Camel sand ground. The same banner-topped vases and blue-square wreath on a camel-sand field, inside the same stepped band of coloured stripes. Border: A broad stepped band of blue, wine, olive and gold stripes under a row of small cloud scrolls. Palette: Camel sand, cobalt, wine, olive, coral, gold. What it signifies: The victory banner and the treasure vase are unchanged; only the ground has moved. Sand is the colour of undyed wool and of the plateau in winter, so the drawing sits quietly and the rainbow band does the speaking. It is the same wish for victory and plenty, without the ceremony of gold. "The victory banner and the treasure vase, spoken quietly." Auspicious for the home: For a household that wants the blessing without the glare: a bedroom, a study or a hallway. The sand ground lets the banner and the rainbow edge be found rather than announced. Best for: The neutral partner to HTC-38 — the same drawing for a quieter room.
