| Observe some of the wonderful objects in our
current collection. Spirit masks (in The Den of Osiris) from Africa, Indonesia and Mexico
worn originally for dances, initiations and other native rituals still offer protection,
transformation and abundance. Medicine tools (in The Den of Osiris),
vessels and amulets are used by healers to align the body and mind with nature. As always,
we have a great array of wood and silvered bronze Buddhas, gods and goddesses to inspire
you toward your enlightenment. Our barn is inhabited by a whole menagerie of whimsical animals. Folk-art tigers can be seen leaping stylishly, while elephants curl their trunks. Gaze upon unsuspecting garden frogs, Peruvian walking fish and handsome wooden horses. We're particularly proud of our finely carved black rhinos. If you love wood, come admire our collection of burl boxes and exquisitely patterned burl slabs. As you know, architectural details can make a house. We have carved Florentine corner braces and ornaments, some of them gilded. Note that a new selection of antique cache boxes has arrived. When you come in we'll ring a Burmese Temple Gong for you from our excellent selection. We have antique Tibetan Singing Bowls, each one with a penetrating harmonic tone. If you're looking for Tibetan ritual objects, we have bell and dorje sets and tingsha chimes, all hand selected for the best sound. Besides our splendid collection of silver (in The Vault), semi-precious stones and old tribal jewelry, we have a great array of prayer beads which can be held for their power, counted in meditation, or simply worn for their beauty. These include authentic Tibetan malas made with mellow wooden beads, sacred seeds and dharma charms.
