This magnificent tantric sacrificial vessel with lid comes from Tibet and consists of rock crystal. On a narrow foot the body of the vessel rises and forms a pronounced shoulder with a mouth of pearl strings. The foot and the shoulder are covered with open work fittings of fire gilt copper repoussé. Rubies and turmaline are found between the Buddhist symbols of good fortune, the lotus flowers and the tendrils. Garlands adorn the lower edge of the fitting. The ornaments show lush repoussé work in relief as well as finely chasing. A lid, decorated with dragons and snow lions, closes the vessel and a knob of rock crystal in the form of a vajra crowned the lid.



The sacrificial vessel is in very good condition with hardly any signs of wear. The height with cover measures 22 cm and the diameter is 20 cm. The weight is approx. 4.30 kg.
