在聂赤赞普之前的远古时代，藏区已进入冶炼业，并有专职铁匠的手工业者。在吐蕃第七代藏王时期，大臣罗囊弑杀君王之后，把尸体殓入铜棺，而后抛进了江河。吐蕃王朝第九代藏王布德共杰时代，藏区已有制造金属的工艺。其实，第一代藏王聂赤赞普时期兴建的雍布拉康也早已证明藏族冶炼的时代的到来。
吐蕃时期的雕塑和绘画处于吸收外来艺术营养、融汇藏族民间艺术的发展阶段，表现出艺术风格的多样性，有典型的犍陀罗艺术风格，有明显的敦煌唐代风格，有中原雕刻风格，有尼泊尔古代艺术风格，同时也出现了同藏族民间艺术结合产生的新形式，在某种意义上可以说是西藏艺术发展史上的开放时期。这种广泛吸收外来文化的艺术形式和技术的作法，对西藏手工艺术的繁荣起到了巨大的推动作用。
