About the Item
This exquisite old Tibetan praying wheel, crafted from wood and copper, stands at a height of 37.5 cm and features a diameter of 12.5 cm. Originating from Tibet during the middle of the 20th century, this piece beautifully embodies the rich Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
The praying wheel, or "mani wheel," symbolizes the dissemination of spiritual blessings and is a vital tool for practitioners. Traditionally, believers spin the wheel while reciting prayers or mantras, allowing the prayers contained within to be sent forth into the universe. This particular example includes a wrapped prayer scroll secured by a leather band, emphasizing its functional design and cultural significance.
Tibet, known for its profound spiritual heritage, has a history steeped in the practice of Buddhism, which has shaped its art and culture for centuries. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this praying wheel not only showcase the artistry of Tibetan artisans but also serve as a reminder of the spiritual journey that defines Tibetan life.
In addition to its aesthetic beauty, this praying wheel is a powerful embodiment of Tibetan mindfulness and devotion, inviting peace and tranquility to its surroundings. Weighing 783 grams, it is an impressive yet manageable piece for both collectors and spiritual practitioners alike.
