Antique Sculpture of the Vahana Nandi (the Mount of Lord Shiva) of Khandoba vintage native american North American masks in general

North American masks in general are a very small and rare category and as such I feel the good old ones offer a lot of value for a very reasonable investment

I have seen similar other authentic but unassuming works that were made in remote areas around the world

Size:1” x 1”

This rare antique Tibetan prayer wheel was used in individual daily prayer

it is likely that works of copper predated even this early date

Antique Sculpture of the Vahana Nandi (the Mount of Lord Shiva) of Khandoba vintage native american North American masks in generalvahana, (Sanskrit: mount or vehicle) in Hindu mythology, the creature that serves as the vehicle, or carrier, and as the sign of a particular deity. The vahana accompanies, pulls the chariot of, or serves as the seat or mount of his god. Images of the vahana are also used on banners and emblems to identify the god or the cult affiliation of the devotee. Upon the partnership between the deity and his vahana is woven much iconography and Hindu theology.
