Statue of a dancing Shiva. Shiva in his form as the cosmic dancer is called Nataraja and is represented in metal or stone in many Shaivite temples, particularly in South India. Surrounded by a ring of fire, this dancing Shiva statue is meant to represent the cosmos coming into being.
The second item is a prayer wheel. Prayer wheels are a common religious tool in Tibetan Buddhism. They typically consist of a cylindrical container filled with written mantras or prayers, often printed on paper or cloth. The cylinder is mounted on a spindle and can be spun signifying the rotation of Dharma. As the wheel is spun, the prayers are believed to be recited, accumulating merit for the spinner. This prayer wheel has a decorative outer casing with turquoise and coral colored beads, suggesting it may be a more ornate or ceremonial piece.
The third item is likely a Tibetan prayer or mantra book adorned with colorful Buddha figures on both covers. It may have served as a portable aid for meditation and prayer.
The fourth item is a pair of tingsha cymbals connected by a cord. Tingsha cymbals are small, hand-held cymbals often used in Tibetan Buddhism and other spiritual practices. They are typically made of bronze or brass and are played by striking them together. Tingsha cymbals are known for their clear, ringing sound, believed to awaken the mind.
Size: (largest) 7 3/4 x 1 3/4 in.
