Abstract
“LAMAIST mythology is a fascinating field for exploring the primitive conceptions of life and the way in which the great forces of Nature become deified” states Waddell, and further, “The vast multitude of deities forming the Lamaist pantheon is largely created by embodying under different names the different aspects of a relatively small number of deities with changing moods.”1 These keen observations of a veteran scholar of Tibetan art are perhaps a good introduction to the lay visitor at the interesting exhibition of Tibetan culture belonging to the Newark Museum, largely from the collection of the late explorer physician, Dr. Albert Shelton, who so unfortunately met death in his attempt to enter Tibet on his second expedition.
