SUMMARY
- Sourced personally during my travels through the remote monastic strongholds of Tibet, this Mahakala Ghau is a “living” artifact of Vajrayana practice. In the Himalayas, Mahakala is the fierce manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, charged with destroying obstacles on the path to enlightenment. This turquoise sculpture has been hand-carved with a wrathful, protective expression and has developed a rich, waxy “skin” from being carried close to the body in a sacred shrine box for over a century.
Origin: Tibet / Himalayas (Personally collected)
Estimated Age: 19th Century or earlier
Material: 100% Natural, Undyed Tibetan Turquoise
Size: Portable shrine focal piece (Approx. 35mm – 45mm)
Condition: Exceptional antique patina; carvings remain sharp with authentic wear
The Highlight: A “Sky-Stone” protector used to guard against spiritual obstacles.
