Description

A FINE BRONZE GHANTA AND VAJRA, TIBET, 18TH-19TH CENTURY

The ghanta cast in two parts, the bell decorated with a band of stylized kirtimukha masks framed by a band of vajra above and below, the shoulder featuring the eight Lantsa characters ‘Tam, mam, lam, bam, mam, zum, pam, hum’ within petal-shaped outlines, and the handle in form of a head rising to a vajra with eight prongs. The bell inscribed to the interior ‘om a hum’. The vajra of similar form, eight-pronged with a central knob flanked by rows of petals on each side. (2)

Provenance: From an estate in Southern Germany.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, casting irregularities, and small nicks.

Weight: 211 g (the vajra) and 428 g (the ghanta)
Dimensions: Length 14.2 cm (the vajra) and height 18.7 cm (the ghanta)

Representing the fundamental qualities Buddhism asks of its followers, wisdom and compassion, vajra and ghanta ritual implements are central to Tibetan Buddhist practice.
