About the Item

Tibetan Cast Bronze Panchmukhi Shiva Motif Hanging Cachepot/Planter This unique mid-20th century or older Tibetan cast bronze hanging cachepot/planter illustrates a rare and symbolic Panchmukhi Shiva motif. Measuring 22 inches in height, 7 inches in diameter, and 4.5 inches in depth, this beautifully patinated piece is a stunning blend of art and spirituality. The planter is adorned with the five faces of Lord Shiva, known as Panchmukhi Shiva, each representing a distinct aspect of the deity: Sadyojata (the reveler), Vamadeva (the concealer), Aghora (the destroyer), Tatpurusha (the cosmic being), and Ishana (the Lord). These faces not only symbolize Shiva's multifaceted nature but also correspond to the classical elements, directions, senses, and parts of the body. The intricate detailing of the five-faced mukhalinga, or pancha-mukhalinga, enhances the spiritual significance of this piece, making it a captivating addition to any collection. Ready to hang and display, this cachepot is a rare find that embodies the divine multiplicity and presence of Shiva in a beautifully crafted form. Its rich historical and spiritual significance makes it a compelling addition to any collection of religious or cultural artifacts.

19th-Century Tibetan Copper and Brass Ritual Vessel with Applied Ornamentation
Located in Middleburg, VA
A richly detailed 19th-century Tibetan ritual vessel, hand-forged from copper and embellished with applied repousse and engraved brass medallions, geometric plaques, and symbolic mounts. Raised on three splayed feet, this bulbous, high-necked vessel features a domed body adorned with a dense array of ritual and decorative appliques, including stylized floral medallions, abstract symbols, and keyhole-like forms that reference tantric iconography. The vessel's expressive form is punctuated by three protruding spouts and retains its original arched swing handle with pierced brass finials. Meticulously decorated in traditional metalworking techniques, the surface patina reveals a rich, warm interplay between the copper ground and the golden brass overlay. An aesthetic that speaks to both spiritual function and ornamental sophistication. Likely used in ceremonial or domestic rituals, this vessel stands as a worthy testament to Tibetan artisanship and Buddhist ritual culture. A compelling piece for collectors of Himalayan antiques...
