TEXTURED METAL POT FROM NEPAL - A country of central Asia in the Himalaya Mountains between India and southwest China. Size: Approx. 3-1/4 H x 4-1/2 Inches Across. The circumference is 14 Inches. Weight: Approx. 14 oz. Metal:
Probably Pot Metal. Condition: Very Good. The design is a textured one with designs added under the rim. One features an elephant with the trunk down. The bottom of the pot also has a metal design, which causes the pot to sit at a slight angle. If moved it wobbles a bit. The inside of the pot is unfinished. This adds to the textured look. It is a dull color. While the outside has a smooth pewter color. This piece is very attractive and unusual. A nice addition to a collection or as a decorative accent.

Shaman Himalayan Phurba Jani-Form CarvingSize: 13½ inches L x 1½ W Condition: very good, with some expected signs of wear and age. Age: 20th century Materials: Wood, metal chain, cloth and remains of white pigment This is a large middle hills shamanic phurba with jani-form phurba deities embellishing the top of the grip, curvilinear and geometric embellishment and more anthropomorphic carving on the blade faces. A fantastic older used shamanic piece with highly desirable design details. Wooden phurbas remain in use in the Himalaya today and Shamanism in Napel is certainly a living tradition. The origins of the phurba cult are much older than Buddhism. The phurba cult certainly is among the most prevalent rituals of subjugation in Himalayan shamanism as well. It is perhaps the most favored manner of magically subjugating ghosts and malevolent spirits.
