18th C. Indian Copper Alloy Chhapa Stamp - ex Quinn

Item Details

Description

South Asia, India, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A copper alloy stamp known as a chhapa that was used to apply symbols to the skin of devotees during Hindu religious events cast via the lost wax method. The thick handle has a large circular suspension hole for threading on a cord for priests to hold multiple stamps, and at the base are several curved braces or arms that support the flattened stamp face which is an openwork and cutout diamond shape with curvilinear and circular bands. Stamping the body with a red or white sandalwood paste with marks of Shiva or Vishnu were visual displays of devotion and transferred the blessings of the deity onto the wearer. After a purification bath to clean the skin of physical and spiritual impurities the stamps were applied forehead, cheeks, shoulders, and/or chakra areas. A great patina from the years of use and sandalwood paste remnants envelopes the surface of this devotional tool. Size: 1.9" L x 1" W x 1.7" H (4.8 cm x 2.5 cm x 4.3 cm); 2.3" H (5.8 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: ex-private collection of actor Anthony Quinn and his wife Katherine, Bristol, Rhode Island, USA acquired prior to 2000
