Besides Tibetan robes, there is another kind of typical costume called "Bangdan" in Lhasa, Rikaze area and vast 
Kangba Area. This is a kind of long apron that is tied around waist and hung from front waist to lower hem of the skirt. The apron is sewn by three separate vertical pieces and on each piece there are colorful horizontal stripes patterns. Also made of wool fabric, this type of apron has horizontal stripes of different width. Scarleb verdure, blue, lemon yellow, purple and white colors alternate regularly to form the pattern. The apron shines faintly, 
giving the feel of sunshine.
As for Tibetan hairstyle, some hang down loosely and some make plaits. People in agricultural area mostly do two plaits, while people from pasturing area do multi plaits. Generally speaking, Tibetan women in many areas hang long hair down to the shoulder. Plates etc. that Tibetan people hang in front of the chest are related with Buddhism. Bead adornments are Buddhist beads.
In addition, everyone will wear a talismanic silver Buddhist box to hold the protective Buddhist figure or bodhisattva figure. Tibetan people usually gird strings of metal knifes, boxes for steel for flint and many other silver adornments around the waist. Among them, broadswords and waist hooks are two kinds of unique adornments for Tibetan men and 
women. With a long history, Tibetan swords are in different length general from longer than I meter to 40-70cm, and some shorter than 40cm. A Tibetan knife or sword has many functions. A long sword could be used for self- protection and a short sword could be used to kill cattle and sheep, to peel off skin and to cut meat and vegetables. A small knife could be used as tableware. Not only very sharp, Tibetan swords are also exquisitely handmade with delicate adornments. The hilt part is covered with ox horn, animal bone or hard wood 
and then wrapped with silver or copper wires and hoop with bronze hull or iron hull some are decorated with silver adornments.
The materials used for sheath and the ways of production are also very exquisite. Sheathes are mostly covered with copper or silver and then carved with lucky patterns of dragons, phoenixes, tigers, lions and flowers. Some are covered with sharkskin and inlaid with precious gems such as turquoise, coral and agate. A more common practice is to inlay a piece of yak horn on the knife shank.
