Bronze, turquoise, leather &
natural fibers
Liturgical instruments used during Tibetan Buddhist rituals. They are regarded as they are used together. The Dril - Bu, or bell is
held in the left hand and the scepter or Dorje in the right. As a a pair, they
reflect the 2 aspects of Buddhist practice: method and wisdom, intuition
and compassion. This is a rare example in that it still has its original
leather case.
Very similar to the Dril-Bu and Dorje in the Metropolitan
