Biographical Information - Jigme Tering (or Taring) was the son of Rajah Tering of Sikkim. He married Tsarong's 4th wife Mary (Rinchen Dolma) in 1930. He was a Depon in charge of the Army. He wears the official's Earring in the left ear and his hair is tied in a top knot with an Amulet Box (`gau') in the center. This ornament is only worn by Lhasa officials of the first five ranks or by sons of noble families who are employed by the Government. [Marina de Alarcón ZF 1995 4]
