Artistic Overview

We are proud to present an extraordinary and aesthetically captivating set of three bronze reliefs, representing the pinnacle of Tibetan astrological iconography. These artifacts, known as Srid-pa-ho, are not merely decorative objects; they serve as powerful protective diagrams designed to harmonize cosmic forces and shield an environment from negative influences.

Each panel is a masterpiece of metalwork, showcasing exceptional detail and relief depth, further enhanced by a natural, time-acquired patina in shades of dark chocolate and anthracite.

Iconographic Details

The central motif of each piece is the Cosmic Tortoise, a symbol of universal stability. Precisely depicted on its plastron are:

• Mewa Magic Square: Nine numerical sectors representing karmic directions.
• Eight Trigrams (Parkha): Symbols of the natural elements regulating spatial balance.
• Tibetan Zodiac: Twelve animal cycles governing the flow of time.

The upper register is dominated by the Rigsum Gönpo—the trinity of Bodhisattvas: Manjushri (Wisdom), Avalokiteshvara (Compassion), and Vajrapani (Power), who imbue the artifacts with high spiritual authority. The lower section of the panels is densely inscribed with ritual mantras in Lantsha and Uchen scripts, serving as an eternal prayer for prosperity and protection.
