A CEREMONIAL TRUMPET, KANGLING, TIBET, 19TH CENTURY

The copper horn modeled as the head of a horned makara (chu-srin) with open mouth revealing a movable tongue, the chin with a small loop suspending a loose ring, joined to the shaft by a brass element of bulbous form decorated with chased and incised trefoils, fitted to the other end with a silver mouthpiece with beaded rim and citipati head.

Provenance
: British trade. Acquired from a small local estate.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, small dents, and old repairs.

Weight: 187 g
Dimensions: Length 40.5 cm

The metal trumpet here is modeled after the original form—a lama priest's thighbone. Known as a kangling, or ‘leg bone flute’, the instrument is paired with a pellet drum in rituals intended to ward off epidemics and drive away harmful influences. Revered in Tibetan Buddhist practices, these instruments are believed to harness potent spiritual energy, their haunting sound acting as a powerful deterrent to misfortune and illness.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related rkangling, 36.8 cm long, dated to the 19th century in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 46.34.70. Compare a closely related mixed metal rkangling, 52 cm long, dated to the 2nd half of the 19th century, in the Museum für V?lkerkunde Dresden, inventory number 40826.
