"She then offered homage to the divinity, blessing him with tikka
powder on his forehead..."
The chances are great that if this occurred in Nepal she was carrying a tray arranged with flowers, offerings, and this special "face box" to hold the tikka powder. Made of bronze in the form of a woman's face, this box was used expressly for the purpose of holding tikka powder. It is made so precisely that the top neatly snaps off the base yet otherwise stays firmly attached. The box measures 3-1/2 inches long and 2-1/2 inches wide. It is 3" high. |
