A CARVED CONCH WITH GILT-BRONZE MOUNT
TIBET, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
Sourced in the mid 1920th during the
Haslund Christensen expedition to Mongolia
The conch shell, a symbol of the voice of the Buddha,
represents the transmission of Buddhist teachings. This
conch (Tib: dung) is both an auspicious symbol and a
ritual implement in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
During ritual performances, it is used as a musical
instrument and as a container for water. The elaborate
decoration of real conch shells, such as the present
example, became prominent in the seventeenth century.
