However, sheepskin is divided into three types according to winter, summer and autumn because of different seasons and different cortex.

Raw hides are the most flexible and wear-resistant, and can be used as raincoats, which belong to the top grade of fur robes.

According to historical records, when Zampa IX brought tribute armor, he could spin ox hair for weaving tents and wool thread for making clothes. In the 1970s, when cleaning up the cultural relics of Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, a dress of Songzan Gambu and a pair of shoes of the princess were found. Songzanganbu's clothes are a Tibetan robe with a fat waist, long sleeves and a big chest, which is made of lava. Princess shoes are similar in style to the current "Gaga" shoes, with cowhide soles and green uppers embroidered with simple flowers. The earliest human body decoration found in Tibet so far comes from Karuo Neolithic cultural site in Qamdo area. 50 ornaments, including hairpins, pearls, rings, beads, necklaces, bracelets, shells, etc. , unearthed in Karuo site, made of stone, jade, bone and other materials. Judging from the decorative parts, Karuo's ancestors are in the same strain as today's Tibetan customs, including hair ornaments, necklaces, chest ornaments and hand ornaments from top to bottom. These data show that as early as the Neolithic Age, Tibetan ancestors had human ornaments with stable shapes and rich shapes. With the communication with the outside world, Tibetan eye ornaments have been influenced by the costumes of Han, Mongolian, Manchu and Persian, and progress has been made in the color and production of eye ornaments. However, judging from the eye ornaments and costumes handed down from ancient times, the overall structure has not changed much, and the traditional Tibetan cultural characteristics are still relatively intact.
