The Rangzen Bracelet was first designed by Tibetan political prisoners near Lhasa. These bracelets were originally woven from white and black yak hair, or whatever bits of thread were available in the prisons. It is patterned after the traditional slingshot used by Tibetan nomads. Today these bracelets are worn as an expression of endurance and defiance against Chinese governments oppression. This bracelet was woven by a Tibetan nun in India, in the hope that it will spread awareness of the plight of her people. Please wear it to show your solidarity with the struggle for freedom and human rights in Tibet.
