Singapore museum unveils Sikh art
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, and Tibet are among the countries represented.
The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) and Singapore's Sikh community have presented a new collection of Sikh art, which depicts people from pre-partition India and their spiritual tales.
According to the Friday weekly Tabla!, the exhibit features a 19th-century artwork of the ninth Sikh Guru Teg Bahadur, whose 400th birth anniversary was honored last year. Visitors to the ACM will also be captivated by a splendid quoit (Chakkar in Punjabi), a Sikh weapon that was only used for rituals, as well as a silver ornament that was meant to hang over Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh sacred Scripture.
