About the Item

A beautiful and rare **Tibetan gilded copper Wheel of the Law (Dharmachakra)**, dating from the **18th to 19th century**. Expertly crafted using the **repoussé technique**, this sacred object displays exceptional artistry and care in execution. The richly gilded surface, along with the finely detailed front and unusually well-finished back, suggests it was created by a highly skilled artisan, likely for ritual or ceremonial use. It may have once been worn as part of a **ritual dance costume**, incorporated into **temple jewelry**, or placed upon an **altar** as a devotional emblem symbolizing the Buddha’s teachings. Despite minor edge denting from age and use, it remains in remarkable condition with a warm, time-softened patina. A truly special and evocative piece of Himalayan Buddhist art. (5" Diameter)

9763 - Finest 18th C Tsong Ka Pa. World class. Measures 6.75 inches tall. Purchased 10 years ago from a high-end Silicon Valley collection for my personal collection, that was forced to be sold off due to divorce. The Collector had an extremely good eye and had managed to put together a world-class collection 20 years ago before pieces like this became nearly impossible to find. recently, and since I have medically retired and moved to Ukiah oh, I have decided to merge my personal and Buddha Gallery Collections and have put everything up for sale. I am in the process of listing the very last of my personal items that have previously and not been available for sale up until this point. I bought many of them for strong prices as I bought them as a collector who is passionate about Buddhist and Hindu sculpture, and who only buys what I truly love myself. I have been collecting for more than 35 years now, as my collecting tracks alongside my Buddhist Meditation and Buddhist practice. Note the very fine beating on the robes-the Promote the level of refinement to the casting, sculpting, and finishing required means that only a fraction of the top 1% of Tibetan bronze sculpture...
