Tibetan urn

A Tibetan urn is a vessel typically made of metal, often brass or bronze, and used for a variety of purposes in Tibetan culture. These urns are usually ornate in design, featuring intricate patterns and symbols that hold significant meaning in Tibetan Buddhism.One common use for Tibetan urns is as a container for ashes or relics of deceased spiritual masters or other important figures in Tibetan Buddhist history. These urns are often placed on altars or in sacred spaces as a way of honoring and paying respect to these individuals.

Tibetan urns are also used in various religious ceremonies and rituals, such as offerings of food, water, and other items to deities or other spiritual beings. In some cases, the urns may be used to hold sacred substances or objects, such as holy water or prayer beads.

Due to their intricate designs and cultural significance, Tibetan urns are often viewed as works of art in their own right and may be displayed in museums or private collections.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing
