Taking into account different historical and ethnic aspects, Tibet and Mongolia belong to a common cultural environment cemented by the tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism. Altogether over one thousand objects of art and ritual tools amassed by the Asia and Pacific Museum in Warsaw belong to the Vajrayana circle of Buddhist culture. Most of them are of Mongolian origin. The collection consists, among others, of thang-ka scrolls and miniature paintings usually carried in personal reliquary boxes, figurines, masks etc. Among objects belonging to the Buddhist cult, there is a priceless ceremonial dress of lamas made of sculpted bone as well as ceremonial drums called damaru. Specifics of everyday life of Mongolians are represented by yurts completely equipped with domestic utensils, parts of horse trappings, silver jewellery for women and decorative herdsmen sets carried by men.
