We are pleased to offer this rice pot we have on consignment. This has been in one families collection for generations. This item was hand carved. They are no longer made in this fashion.
Rice pots have a very unique place in Tibetan Buddhism. In India during rituals and practices there are moments that flower pedals were thrown into the air. This was not possible in Tibet because flowers are scarce. Someone came up with the idea of throwing rice or barely instead. Today In practice’s like Nyungne and certain empowerment rice is thrown at certain intervals.
