A 17th century dorje (thunderbolt of enlightenment) Buddhist ritual object of a dark color with some green encrustation. Some dorjes at that time were made from meteorites found in the Himalayas. This particular dorje is quite heavy and there is a possibility that it may be made from a meteorite but we have not had it tested. It was bought personally in Llasa, Tibet and is original and rare.
Period: 17th Century, Tibet
Size: Length = 11.8 cm
Condition: Naturally worn with age.
