Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
Beautifully sculpted and well carved Stupa, it is probably southeast Asian, though could be from Tibet or Nepal.. It came to me from a collection o antique crystal Buddhas, mostly from Thailand, and primarily in the range of15 to 17 century(5.5"H x 2.75"W X 2.75"D) - 380g. The surface has the ripples normally seen in the flat surfaces, suggesting it was made with early tools. These are hard to date- I believe this is an old one It has theremains of burial encrustasion. Made him three parts, the top which is removable, the base, and the round part which has a compartment for holding relics or precious objects
