Gentle Friends,
Instead of carrying a grand banner, the Tibetan Noble carries a magnificent umbrella which is decorated with interesting ribbons, baubles, and jingle-jangles. The umbrella was obviously far more effective in keeping the hot Tibetan sun off the Noble than a grand banner would have.
Below, you should find several pictures, taken at different angles, which displays the Noble with his fine umbrella.
Warmest personal regards,
Pat
