18th C. Tibetan Silver and Brass Ghau Box

Item Details

Description

Central Asia, Tibet, ca. 18th century CE. A magnificent silver and bronze ghau (gau, ghau), a large prayer box. The shape of the box mirrors that of traditional central Asian roofs inspired by the domes and arches of Persian architecture. The face of the box, made of silver, has an intricate and auspicious cast motif of lotus flowers, lions, and a central dragon. The brass sides and back are undecorated aside from two riveted handles that project from either side. Inset into the front of the box, behind a glass panel, is a painting on parchment of the dancing, blue-skinned god Vishnu. Covered in a brown textile case. Size: 3.9" W x 5.75" H (9.9 cm x 14.6 cm)

Provenance: private Maui, Hawii, USA collection

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

#124739

Condition

Textile is in poor condition, as shown, with frayed edges; however, it protects the face and sides of the box nicely. Central painting is slightly faded. Slight denting to thin sheet metal of back. Silver face is in very nice condition, with fine patina.
