Auction: Christie’s New York, 20 March 2019, lot 687
Price: USD 7,500 or approx. EUR 8,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A copper repoussé Vajracharya crown, Nepal, dated by inscription to 1846
Expert remark: Compare the related form and repoussé work, albeit with panels depicting the five Tathagatas as opposed to the floral decoration on the present lot. Note the size (24.1 cm). It's important to note that while this crown was once worn by a Vajracharya priest, the present lot was intended to adorn a Bodhisattva statue.
