Vintage Tibetan Mani Prayer Wheel in Carved Wood Frame – c. 1980s

Vintage Tibetan mani prayer wheel

Decorative Tibetan mani prayer wheel mounted in a carved wooden frame, dating to around the 1980s. This is clearly a used vintage object, not a newly made item. Signs of age and use form part of its character and can be seen in the photographs.

The rotating prayer cylinder is finished with turquoise-coloured inlay and gold-coloured characters from the Buddhist mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. The metal borders above and below feature scrolling ornament and small coloured cabochons. A metal hanging eye is fitted to the back of the wooden frame for wall display.
