BUTTER CONTAINER
H176
The lid of this large (42cm high) butter
container is similar to the upper part of certain
phurbu (see H64 & H65). These two riders are
probably benevolent spirits protecting the
butter from curdling.

FASTENING RING
These fastening rings were used to stretch the cords that
bound wedding trousseaus. The designs they are adorned with
are similar to those found on ghurra's, as both probably come
from the same region (the so called "middlehills" of Nepal).

BUDDHIST EYESHADE
H193
This Buddhist ritual eyeshade was collected in Mongolia, a
geographical provenance which is confirmed by the style of the
silver skulls. There is an obvious connection between the
above and the eyeshade of the Buryat shaman on the left
(Buryats are a subgroup of the Mongols living in Siberia).
