Handmade in Tibet from copper, this very large incense burner consists of a pierced and footed pot with lid and an inner tin used to hold burning coals and incense. Topped with a representation of a lotus bud and flower, ringed with stylised viswa vajras, lotus buds, cloud spandrels and a frieze of running swastikas (symbolising good luck and abundance of good things). Hand beaten coppered brass , circa mid 20th century. This piece has had substantial use and was collected in the 1980's by Australian collector and dealer Bernard Heaphy in a remote village in the foothills of Mount Everest. It was purchased straight out of a villager's home. The owners of the burner originated in Tibet.
