Tibetan Travelling Buddha Shrine
Located in Houston, TX
A large antique Tibetan Buddha shrine or prayer box (also known as Gau) which encases a painted terracotta Buddha figure, all wrapped in a hand embroidered quilted silk brocade. This was used as traveling shrine and carried on one's person when away from home. Beginning with the “om” written on the left hand side of this traveling shrine, an itinerant Tibetan monk once traced his fingers clockwise over the embossed characters. As he did this, he recited "om ma ni padh mey hum," the universal Tibetan Buddhist prayer for the well-being of all sentient beings. Known as a Gau, this portable shrine...

Antique Traditional Indonesian Gong and bonang
Located in Milano, IT
This extraordinary piece of art from Southeast Asia exudes an ancient charm that transcends time, telling stories of distant traditions and cultures. Dating back to the late 19th century, this work is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans of that era, who infused life and soul into every detail. The gong, the undisputed protagonist of this composition, is made of copper and features a dark patina that accentuates its antique and mystical character. This aged surface, which softens its original shine, adds depth and mystery, almost whispering the stories and rituals for which it was used. Supporting the gong is a solid wooden structure, painted in a lacquered red that, despite the marks of time, retains a timeless beauty. The traces of wear reveal layers of underlying color, giving the piece a lived-in and authentic charm, as if it had witnessed countless ceremonies and sacred moments. Alongside the main gong, two small gongs...

18thC Powerful Large Tibetan Fierce Deity, 8307
Located in Ukiah, CA
Very large and powerful Tibetan fierce deity. Stands an impressive 18 inches tall, 19 inches on a custom stand. I believe this piece may have once looked very different and may have gone through a fire or other disaster (likely as part of the cultural revolution in the 1960s). I think it may have been extensively repaired using copper from other damaged sculptures. I say this because the body is so massive and thick, and almost seems to have extra mass beyond what a normal torso with 2 arms and 2 legs, and a head would have contained. It is possible it was originally made this way as a one-of-a-kind piece. I do believe all parts except the bottom are 18/19thC (and probably 18thC). Amazing face on the animal in his hair. Also, all the faces in the small faces...

It is a very beautiful and wonderful kettle with flowers engraved on the whole. The technique of hitting a copper plate to shape it is a traditional Japanese technique. In addition, the thin copper plate is engraved. Its delicate technique is very high level. This cannot be erased once it is tapped and chopped. In other words, you cannot make a mistake. And since it has been used for a long time, the color of copper is very nice. The inside of the kettle is painted with tin. There is a mark of repairing the hole on the bottom.
