A beautiful G'au (travel box) from Nepal: this "Buddhist" box is supposed to protect its owner from evil spirits ... This type of refined G'au (filigrane gilded silver, various stones - turquoises, lapis, coral, ...). These ornaments dating from the '60s of great precision were often intended for export. Here, homage is paid to Hanuman, the Monkey God. In Nepal, Hinduism, often described as Hymalaian, borrowed much from Tantric Buddhism. Inside the box, another sculpture representing the sitting Buddha.
