About the Item
This antique copper Tibetan horn, known as a Dungchen, is a fascinating and authentic ritual instrument used in Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies. Crafted from copper, the horn measures an impressive 179 cm in length when fully extended, with a 19 cm diameter, and is designed in three parts for portability. When collapsed, the instrument shortens to just 70 cm, making it practical for use and storage. Dating back to the 19th century, this horn has a weight of 1.6 kgs and originates from Tibet, a region renowned for its rich spiritual and artistic heritage.
The Dungchen is traditionally used in monasteries to accompany chants and rituals, its deep, resonant sound symbolizing the voice of the Dharma and calling practitioners to meditation and prayer. As an antique ritual object, this piece not only represents Tibetan craftsmanship but also carries profound cultural and spiritual significance, making it a rare and valuable artifact for collectors of Buddhist and Himalayan art.
