#akor

[thejewellerybox]

"This is a traditional Tibetan earring known as an Akor (অর্গা지), which are beautiful examples of traditional Tibetan jewellery and metalworking.

Historically, Akor were worn by women in Central Tibet, as well as in some neighbouring regions, perhaps most notably in Sikkim. And they're most commonly associated with traditional aristocratic styles of dress.

The earrings were often made from gold or silver, with fittings set for large precious stones, like turquoise or red coral cabochon. Many Akor feature a kind of three-tiered composition, with stylized lotus buds and teardrop forms supported by a solid metal frame. And at first glance, these look very much like many other large, elaborate earrings. But there is something special about the way they're worn.

Because of their size and weight Akor were often too heavy to be worn directly from the ear. So, they were suspended from a woman's hair or headdress with small, cleverly concealed hooks, so that they fell along the full length of the face.

A small object, but one that tells us a great deal about status, craftsmanship, and give us a rare and valuable link to the visual culture of pre-modern Tibet."

plurality meeting

notice that some characters have one person but multiple bodies, as opposed to multiple people in one body! I have no idea what that symbolizes though, but I'm sure it symbolizes something

Roy: What are you three up to? Them: We're going to the plurality conference. Roy: Sounds good. Mind if I join? Them: The more, the merrier!

(Soon, various people are sitting at a long table.)

Roy: I also think a forest should have a minimum of 5 trees, a group of Two Words-es should be called an evenword, dust should always have exactly four motes, blah blah blah... Two Words: Never, ever, ever call me an evenword. Aaxia: Wasn't this meeting supposed to be about plural SYSTEMS??? Akor: The plural of the word "system" is "systems". Ixix: "System" doesn't sound like a word anymore. Ixix: System. System. Systern. System.

Sin querer, encontré la rosa que pensaba regalarte antes que me rechazarás, bueno debo decir lo que quedaba de ella. Al verla me hizo sonreír porque estaba igual que yo, marchitada, rota, pisoteada y olvidada; no servía. Decidí recogerla, en mis manos se veía tan frágil, veía con mis ojos como sus pétalos caían, con dolor y un fuerte nudo en mi garganta la sostuve. Ella y yo en ese momento tuvimos una conexión, sabíamos que era estar rotos, olvidados y aparte de eso, saber que ya no teníamos salvación. Sólo nos toca resignar nos, me caí de rodillas y me deje deplomar, me sentía igual que la rosa, tan olvidado y marchitado, sin vida ni color. Fue ahí donde todo me hacia sonreír, es bonito encontrar en este mundo algo que se parezca a ti. Que este igual de roto, igual de mal, de olvidado. Fue ese momento que entre ella y yo un sonrisa fue el instante más especial para ambos.
