click for details		Himalayan Antiques $950
With the Newaris of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal it was customary for the donors of a statue to a temple to have a small statue of themselves cast to be put beside it. These were called donor figure statues. In these donor statues the male is always to the left of the female. He kneels while she sits cross-legged. They are always portrayed with their hands held together in the gesture of devotion. This male donor cl ...click for details

Shaman's Phurba from Nepal decorated with tassels Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: Himalayas: Pre 1950 item# 899061 (stock# 22473-3)
click for details		Himalayan Antiques $750
This kind of wooden phurba is found mostly in the foot hills and higher mountains of Nepal's Himalayas. We have never seen one which could be convincingly assigned a Tibetan origin although often they are mislabeled as Tibetan. Of all the hundreds of phurbas we have handled this one stands out as one of the most outstanding. It has a wonderful patina, the carving is expressive, and the cloth dangles lend it ...click for details

click for details		Himalayan Antiques $1250
The central figure in this thangka bears a striking similarity of one identified as the fourth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Tenpay Nyima (1782-1853) [Rhie and Thurman, “The Sacred Art of Tibet”, page 275-275]. In both thangkas the focus is on the lama wearing the characteristic yellow hat of the Geluk Order dressed in several layers of clothing with his right hand in the teaching gesture (vitarkamudra) and cradling a manuscript in his left hand. He sits on an elaborate throne chair with dragon handle ...click for details

Carved Bone Mahakala Tibet Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: Himalayas: Pre 1900 item# 709997 (stock# 12690)
click for details		Himalayan Antiques $325
This carved bone image of a fearsome Mahakala originates in Tibet. It is possibly from a necromancer's apron, though it is freestanding and lacks the top holes one would expect. It does have two drilled holes which are drilled so as to come through the mouth. It measures just over 2-1/2 inches high (6.5 cm.) and forms under a 45 degree angle at the base. It is in excellent condition. Without scientific testing it ...click for details

Decorated on the face with the All Powerful Ten Syllables of the Kalachakra mantra, this gau still contains its original contents. It is fashioned out of copper, which has acquired a beautiful old patina. It was intended to be hung from a cord or to be stood upright. It is in excellent condition.

This kind of small rectangular pile carpet could have been used in a monastery or a domestic meditation room, or it could even have been used as the seat part of a saddle set. A very similar one is shown as pl. 239 in Tibetan Rugs, White Orchid Books. The carpet is in good condition, natural dyes, and no reweaving. It measures 26-1/2 by 24 inches (67 x 61 cm.)

Very Early Wooden Ganesh Nepal Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: Himalayas: Pre 1800 item# 705903 (stock# 22475)
click for details		Himalayan Antiques $325
The wear, patina, and the lightness of the wood all point to a very early date for this small wooden statue of Ganesh. We would estimate its origin to the eighteenth century. The piece is 4.5 x3.5 inches (11 x 9 cm.). The lower righthand corner contains an early repair with a dark and hardened substance. Our last photograph shows the extent of the repaired area. It hardly detracts from the overall look of the piece.
