Early 20th Century Tibetan Traveling Shrine
Located in Chicago, IL
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.

The brass gau is further empowered by an image of a fearsome guardian figure and a representation of the victory banner, an ancient Indian symbol that celebrates enlightenment. We’ve mounted this prized Tibetan artifact...
