Stupa Box

A Stupa box, also known as a "Tibetan Stupa" or "Relic Box," is a traditional container used by Tibetans for offerings of sweets, chocolates, and other small items. These boxes are typically made of imitation amber, a type of plastic that mimics the appearance of natural amber. The imitation amber material is often used as it is lightweight and durable, making it easy to carry and transport.

The top of the Stupa box is adorned with different types of stone settings, such as turquoise, lapis lazuli, and coral. These stones are believed to have spiritual significance and are thought to bring good luck and protection to the offerings. In addition to the stone settings, the Stupa box may also be decorated with intricate carvings and designs, such as the Eight Auspicious Symbols, which are considered to be powerful symbols of Buddhism.

The Stupa box is typically used during New Year and other special occasions, such as the Tibetan New Year and the Monlam festival. During these events, the box is filled with sweets and chocolates, and the offerings are placed in front of a Stupa or other religious statue as a sign of respect and devotion. The Stupa box is also used in individual homes and temples, where it may be placed on an altar or shrine as a way to make offerings to the deities.

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

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
