Tibet, 19th century. Of typical form, the cream-white shell encased in a silver mount, its surface intricately chased to depict two ferocious sinuous dragons and a phoenix centered by a flaming jewel surrounded by scrolling foliage and framed by bands of waves, petals, overlapping trefoils, and leafy scroll, all above two confronted deer and further decorative bands, and below a spiraling band with mythical and zodiac animals, divided by minutely beaded borders, further with four coral and six turquoise insets as well as a coral finial. Provenance: From a private collection in the United States, approximately acquired in the early to mid-2000s.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, and manufacturing irregularities. Little tarnish to silver and expected wear to the inlaid gemstones, of which some are possibly renewed.Weight: 775.7 gDimensions: Length 19.1 cmThe conch shell (Tibetan: dung), a symbol of the voice of the Buddha, represents the transmission of Buddhist teachings.
