A PAINTED WOOD ENCLOSED PRAYER WHEEL
TIBET, 19TH CENTURY

西藏 十九世紀 彩繪木轉經輪櫃

Depicted here is a prayer wheel, the turning of which is practiced in tandem with mantra recitations. The wheel inside is painted in a gesso relief technique and decorated with mantras in lantsa script. Painted on the walls of the pavilion-roofed shrine are depictions of Tsongkapa, the great teacher and founder of the Gelug order. Other images include additional Gelug hierarchs, a standing bodhisattva, Buddhist emblems, flowers, and on the inner part of the door the Kalachakra monogram is depicted. Compare with a closely related example in the Rubing Musuem of Art (SC2010.32a-h). This popular style of polychromed furniture is also illustrated on a torgam shrine in Henss, Buddhist Ritual Art of Tibet, Stuttgart, 2020, fig. 482.

Provenance:
Christie's, Amsterdam, 31 October 2000, lot 44.
