Description
Central Asia, Tibet, ca. late 18th to early 19th century CE. A wonderful hand-made brass repousse devotional panel with a central prayer wheel flanked by two seated Buddhas with a lower border of skulls. A nice patina coats the surface of the panel and the details are wonderfully preserved with traces of red pigment and gilding across the surface. Skulls have a spiritual meaning in Buddhist art: they represent the emptiness of the universe and attach meaning to neutral events. This piece would have adorned a temple or a shrine as an ornamental plaque. Size: 24.5" L x 9" H (62.2 cm x 22.9 cm)
