About the Item

This is a high-quality 18th-century Tibetan roundel or reliquary from an old Northwest estate. It looks to be constructed of gilded copper. It is quite large at almost 13 inches across. It is beautiful on both sides. It is substantial in weight. It looks to have been made to hold sacred remains or relics. I do not hear anything moving around inside, although I have not opened it up. In all my years of collecting, I've had only one other related piece (a hanging piece which was made to contain relics or remains) - that one was not nearly as refined, and was not gilded. It has expectable wear and some loss of gilding from centuries of cleaning, but is in excellent condition otherwise. ( 13"H x 1.75" W ) - 4.5lbs.

18th C Tibetan Bronze Tsong Ka Pa, Very Best of Its Type-Special - 9763
Located in Ukiah, CA
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...
