It was first used by the military, but today it is played both in ensemble and as a solo instrument.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related haidi, illustrated in Haags Gemeentemuseum, Musial instruments from the East- and South-East Asian mainland, The Hague, 1989, p. 211, no. 182.

The bell in the form of a fierce makara head with the mouth wide open revealing teeth and tongue, the stag antler further with a small floral fitting inset with a turquoise cabochon.Provenance: From the collection of Tony Bingham, United Kingdom. Tony Bingham is a retired dealer of antique musical instruments. He and his wife Irene opened several stores in London beginning in the 1960s, where they were selling antique instruments to museums, private collectors, and musicians, for more than 40 years. He also published several books on the history of musical instruments, including The New Langwill Index, a Dictionary of Musical Wind-Instrument Makers and Inventors. Condition: Excellent condition with minor old wear, few minuscule nicks and dents, occasional light scratches. Solid, naturally grown patina overall.Weight: 173.0 g Dimensions: Length 27.8 cmExpert's note: The kangling, literally meaning 'leg flute', is often seen in Tibetan monastic orchestras and can be made of animal horn or human bone. It is used in various tantric Buddhist rituals, particularly the chöd. Putting a dead being's leg bone to your mouth is an intimate reminder of our own mortality. According to Ivan Vandor, examples made of animal horn are only played during certain Gelugpa rituals. See Ivan Vandor, Bouddisme Tibetan, Les Traditions Musicales, Paris 1976, pages 70-71.The Chöd is a spiritual practice found primarily in the Yundrung Bön tradition as well as in the Nyingma and Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Also known as 'cutting through the ego', the practices are based on the Prajnaparamita or 'Perfection of Wisdom' sutras, which expound the emptiness concept of Buddhist philosophy. According to Mahayana Buddhists, emptiness is the ultimate wisdom of understanding that all things lack inherent existence. Chöd combines Prajnaparamita philosophy with specific meditation methods and tantric ritual. The chöd practitioner seeks to tap the power of fear through activities such as rituals set in graveyards, and visualization of offering their bodies in a tantric feast in order to put their understanding of emptiness to the ultimate test.Literature comparison:Compare a related kangling, illustrated in Haags Gemeentemuseum, Musial instruments from the East- and South-East Asian mainland, The Hague, 1989, p. 225, no. 195.

Superbly painted with the dark-blue, three-headed, and six-armed deity at the center, seated in dhyanasana on a lotus pillow atop a tiered throne supported by snow lions, backed by a lotus-petaled mandorla and halo. He is holding ritual implements including vajra, ghanta, padma, chakra, and khadga, and richly adorned with elaborate gold jewelry.Provenance: Daffos & Estournel, Paris, 2004. A private collection in Milan, Italy, acquired from the above. Leonardo Vigorelli, Bergamo, acquired from the above. Leonardo Vigorelli is a retired Italian art dealer and noted collector, specializing in African and ancient Hindu-Buddhist art. After studying anthropology and decades of travel as well as extensive field research in India, the Himalayan region, Southeast Asia, and Africa, he founded the Dalton Somare art gallery in Milan, Italy, which today is being run by his two sons. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, with some old wear, creasing, minor losses and aging to pigments, few loose threads, possibly microscopic touch-ups here and there. The painting laid down on textile and double-matted. Presenting very well overall.Dimensions: Image size 27.7 x 20.1 cm, Size incl. mounting 49.2 x 40 cmGuhyasamaja Akshobhyavajra is flanked by two goats standing on elephants. The throne arch is topped by Garuda holding a naga in his mouth, flanked by two lamas in the upper register.The Guhyasamaja Tantra is one of the most important scriptures of Tantric Buddhism, written in Sanskrit. In the practice of the Arya Tradition, the central deity of the Guhyasamaja is the blue-black Akṣhobhyavajra, a form of Akshobhya, one of the five tathagathas, sometimes called the dhyani buddhas. Akṣobhyavajra holds a vajra and bell (ghanta) in his first two hands, and his other hands hold the symbols of the four other tathagathas: The wheel of Vairocana and the lotus of Amitabha in his rights, and the gem of Ratnasambhava and the sword of Amoghasiddhi in his lefts. Expert's note: Rarely is this iconographic subject so clearly delineated, allowing the viewer to follow the contours of the body, examine hands and ritual implements silhouetted against the red background, and to gaze upon the otherworldly countenance of Guhyasamaja.Literature comparison: Compare a related mandala thangka of Guhyasamaja Akshobhyavajra, dated to the 14th century, in the collection of the Rubin Museum of Art, object number F1997.43.1.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Sotheby's New York, 22 March 2018, lot 926 Estimate: USD 700,000 or approx.
