Rare 19th century Tibetan Buddhist conch shell and silver plate horn
Dateline: Mid 19th Century Item# 36953 
Rare 19th century Tibetan Buddhist conch shell and silver plate horn. The shell has a hole carved into the top of its spiral so that it may be used as a horn. The conch shell is one of the 8 Auspicious Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism. Conch shells are placed on shrines and used as horns in ritual. This horn measures 22 cms long, 9 inches. The extensive decoration is consists of animals, flora, semi precious jewels and an image of Lord Ganesh. Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him particularly easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as the Lord of Beginnings and the Lord of Obstacles, patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as the Patron of Letters during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.

Condition: Very Good. 

Dimensions:  22 cms long, 9 inches
