“Gulpa” in the Newari language of central Nepal is the word for a begging bowl.  “Rinpoche” is a Tibetan term for precious one.  Both terms help to describe these rare pots that are completely handmade and consist of high quality silverwork (92.5%), 100% Himalayan crystal and decorative gems.

 

Truly this is a work of art and almost impossible to find.

 

This pot belonged to a wealthy Newar Kathmandu family and they owned it for about 30 years.   Before that it was used to offer rice grain to a single monk.  Great history.

 

The detail is spectacular.  PRICELESS, to say the least!

 

For the Serious Collector.  Stand not included.
