Item Details

Description

Hand-painted copper, iron, bamboo
Tibet, c. 1900 or later
Richly decorated with enamel paint
Buddhist symbols of luck in relief
Dimensions: 43 x 10.5 cm (height x diameter)
Good condition
Provenance: From a significant Austrian private collection

This handheld prayer wheel was crafted in Tibet and is spun using a bamboo handle. The hand-painted body is attached via an inner iron rod. Different coloured Buddhist symbols of luck can be seen in heavy relief on all sides of the wheel. A closed yellow lotus bud is also found on top of the wheel. The prayer wheel is brought into motion via a weight that is attached to the round body via a chain. Copper fittings adorn both ends of the red handle.

This handheld prayer wheel is in good condition with usual signs of age and wear. Paint abrasion, indentations, scratched and small holes in the bamboo stick are visible. The item is 43 cm tall and has a diameter of 10.5 cm.

Prayer wheel
The prayer wheel is often also called a Mani wheel due to its shape. In some cases it contains imprinted prayers or mantras and is also decorated with them. The use of prayer wheels in Tibetan Buddhism is connected to mental and physical activity and is supposed to create spiritual thoughts. Through this, all daily life activities should be integrated into the path to enlightenment. Good karma should be accumulated. The desire for happiness and the eradication of pain is another reason for turning the wheel.
