AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A striking large-size solid brass vajra-style ritual object, featuring an elaborate Hayagriva (Horse-Headed King) inspired design with strong Tibetan Buddhist artistic character.

The piece is heavily constructed and richly detailed, with sculpted deity motifs, layered ornamental bands, symbolic patterns, and a dramatic ritual form. The aged brass surface gives it a deep antique tone and enhances the sense of history and craftsmanship.

This is a heavy, highly decorative, one-of-a-kind style piece, with strong visual presence and substantial hand-finished detailing. Its value lies not only in the brass material, but also in the complexity of the form, religious-art inspiration, weighty construction, and distinctive collectible character.

Suitable for collectors of Tibetan Buddhist art, ritual objects, Asian bronze works, and unique handcrafted artifacts.
The item will be thoroughly inspected, securely packaged, and shipped with a tracking number.
