Vajra;, crafted; Tibetan; Buddhist art; Tibetan Buddhist art; vajras; ritual object; 19th century, Tibet; height 9.6 cm; width 3.0 cm, A small ornate metal object lies horizontally on a plain light gray background; the object is predominantly gold in color with areas of darker brownish metal visible in recessed sections and along inner surfaces. The object has a symmetrical double-ended shape with a central cylindrical segment decorated with raised beaded and floral-like patterns, flanked by two bulbous collars with intricate relief work and textured bands. Each end tapers into an open, petal-like form featuring curved, leaf-like scrolls and layered elements that create a sense of depth and shadow; the inner cavities show darker brown tones contrasted with the bright gold surfaces. The overall appearance is metallic and polished in places, with subtle variations between shiny gold highlights and matte golden areas.
