Prayer bell
19th century | Anton K. Gebauer
When the lama performs a ritual, he sits behind a small table to have all required objects at hand. These objects are also kept on the table in the lama’s absence to symbolise the eternal presence of the Buddhist teachings. The lama drinks tea during the often lengthy text recitations.
