Subject:Tibetan Buddhist Kartika (skull chopper) Carved out of Stone
Posted By: Scott Alexander Tue, Nov 24, 2015 IP: 72.105.143.147

Hello All -

Here is a Tibetan Kartika, with a Vajra handle, for your consideration. It is rather large, and apparently is carved out of stone...

I would like to know what script the charaters are, and what the characters say, in addition to solicting general comments one this piece (don't care about value, but would like to know the age or anything else). At a minimum, I believe that the carving is of very good quality, but I'll defer to the group for other assessments.

Thanks in advance for any comments you care to leave,
Sincerely,
Scott Alexander
