Rare Ritual Ghanta Bell

Tibet, 18th/19th century.

Gilt bronze with an attractive patina; ghanta ritual bell symbolizing impermanence and representing wisdom and the ultimate goal. The round, partly faceted bronze shaft is capped at both ends with a half vajra; together they are regarded as a symbol leading to enlightenment — in a broader sense, path and goal are one.
