Lead 19th Century or Older Tibetan Sterling Silver Ritu
Description
19th Century or older Sterling Silver Ritual Conch Shell Sankha Hand Carved. Older than many of the Ornate Decorative Sankha Conch Shells we usually see this one portrays a dragon in the silver smithing and isnt accompanied by gems or stones for additional decoration. Functionally it bellows the strong sound of a horn when blown in to the hole on the front. The silver is worn from decades of shelf movement on the bottom lip of the shell. At one time the tail of the shell may have been longer although the silver is crimped over so it may have been as intended. Patination and craftsmanship are consistant with some of the older Ritual Conch Shells made in this fashion in Tibet. The Conch Shell, also known as Sankha, holds significant importance in both Buddhism and Hinduism. It is one of the eight auspicious symbols in Buddhism and is used in various religious rituals and celebrations. These beautiful silver conch shells are often placed on altars and shrines as unique and religious decorative objects. Measures 8 1/2" length Ancient Authentic
