Description from the seller

This object is an hti (Buddhist stupa), the distinctive decorative tip in the shape of an umbrella that sits atop Buddhist temples. This particular specimen is an ancient and authentic piece, originating from the Mandalay region and datable to around the 19th century (1800). It is made of finely carved wood, lacquered and richly gilded. In Burmese culture, the hti is an important symbol of royalty, protection, and spiritual illumination. The piece shows signs of aging consistent with its venerable age that confirm its authenticity and historical charm. It is an ideal and rare item for collectors of Asian art and religious artifacts.
