Very rare Nepalese tantric piece. A copper repousse Stupa=like shrine. It has many distinctive or unique features including: lotus base, 3 skulls above the opening for display of a statue or tsa tsa, a top that imitates the hair-do of a Mahasiddha (Type of Yogi found in Nepal), numerous places for tiny chains to attach, and an extensive inscription on the lower back. Wear due to extensive ritual use- All is shown in photos. Atleast 300-400 years old and possibly much earlier- I've never seen another like it for comparison. Shine is 3.25 inches tall, 4.5 on optional stone base. Very powerful and fascinating object.
