Lot 275: A Tibetan Copper and Yellow Metal Dungchen Trumpet Repurposed as a Vase with small hole in base

A single Tibetan trumpet-form vessel, likely a Dungchen or ritual horn, constructed primarily of polished copper and repurposed for decorative use. The vessel features a widely flaring mouth finished with a distinct braided or rope-twist border. The body tapers and expands slightly toward the base. The central section of the vessel is decorated with applied or repoussé vertical panels of stylized foliate and architectural motifs, executed in a contrasting yellow metal finish, possibly brass or silvered copper. A white paper inventory label bearing the number 6182 is affixed to the upper body.
