Lot 126: A Tibetan Carved Conch Shell with Deity Figures...
A Tibetan Carved Conch Shell with Deity Figures and Cloud Motifs.
A finely carved Tibetan conch shell, intricately decorated in high relief with multiple seated deity figures enclosed within oval medallions. Each figure is shown in a composed seated posture, framed by radiating halos and bordered by detailed ornamental bands.
The surface is densely worked with scrolling cloud motifs, stylised foliage, and beaded borders, creating a continuous decorative field across the natural spiral form of the shell. The tapering end is further embellished with geometric and foliate carving, complementing the overall composition.
L: Approximately 21cm
