Antique ritual crown 5 celestial Buddhas

A five-lobed ritual crown or “ringga” made of papier-mache, circa the 19th century from Mongolia. The overall motif of each lobe is scrolling vines with a flaming jewel at the top. Painted on each lobe is a celestial Buddha, each in his traditional color and gesture. Each lobe measures 2.75 inches at the base, 4.5 inches at the shoulders and 6.75 inches in height. The ringga is in very good condition over-all; one of the lobes has a superficial crack.
