Large ancient Tibetan conch.

Large, heavy, antique Tibetan conch shell showing a very beautiful patina. *
This type of large shell is used as a musical instrument in certain Buddhist rituals and also to call the Lama to meditation services.
in the most traditional Tibetan monasteries.
*
I estimate the age of this Tibetan conch to be about 100 years old. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to buy it, I don’t mind at all.
to keep it on my altar for a few months ;o)
*
This antique conch is of a rustic design, without any added embellishment.
or ornate metal pavilion as seen on objects intended for tourists.
*
This conch has a good low sound, but it is not very easy to play,
therefore to be reserved for a person who already knows how to use this type of ritual instrument.
