Very finely and deeply chiseled, notably with coiled dragon beasts (possibly chi dragons) to the neck, double scrolls amidst clouds. Further embellished with stone beads of various colors, notably red and green, imitating lotus lapets around the spread foot. Most important are even the white jade plaques, five in total, four around the body and one topping the lid. They are deeply carved in a desirable stone with various flowers and leaves to the body, and with the wheel on dharma to the top of the lid. H: 21,5 cm Weight: 1528,9 grams Notes: 1. Tibetan Buddhism ritual objects are of various shapes and sizes. Along ‘dru po’, one can mention ‘torma’ (‘lha gya tor chig’), long-life vases (‘tshe-bum’), oboes (‘gyaling’), long horns (‘dung chen’), skull cup kapalas (‘tod-pa’, peacock vases (‘bumpa’), cylindrical contain- ers (‘dug drab dze sum gyi nod) etc. Full sets of ritual implements would have been used throughout the year and were often offered to teachers from wealthy patrons and disciples. 2. The fine craftsmanship and lavish use and silver and jade indicate an important commission typically that may be associated with the craftsmen of Eastern Tibet in Derge. 精美半宝石和翡翠藏传佛教宝器 喜马拉雅时期，晚清， 19 世纪 € 4,000 - 6,000
