A seven piece collection of Tibetan Buddhist brass and copper prayer wheels and amulet cases inset with coral and turquoise stones. These are ritual objects from Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The collection includes two hand-held prayer wheels (mani wheels) with cylindrical drums engraved with mantras and swinging weighted chains used to spin them and five tall rectangular and cylindrical gau (portable shrine/amulet boxes) decorated with repoussé deities and mantras in Tibetan script. These pieces would traditionally be worn or carried for protection and used in devotional practice. No maker’s mark.
