This silver stupa would likely have been used as an altar piece in a Tibetan shrine room. It is modeled after a very typical Tibetan style stupa, surmounted with a finial of thirteen rings and with a gilt sun and moon. The rectangular base is decorated with Tibetan auspicious symbols. The piece is 8-1/2 inches high and is four inches square at the base. Originally it contained four semi-precious stones at the cardinal directions and one at the top level, but only two pieces of turquoise remain. Not an historic piece, it dates from the mid to late 20th century. |
