Nepalese Shaman's Suit of Bells, Feathers, and Animals
Rare Nepalese Shaman's Ritual Harness and Belt Suit of Bells, Feathers, Shells, Animal Hide, Fur, Metal, Fabric, and Animals. An old, authentic and very rare piece that was used in rituals performed by a West Nepalese Shaman of the Magar Tribe in the Rukum District. Beautifully mounted and displayed on a custom metal stand. The suit was constructed in the 19th Century, but many of the bells used in constructing the suit date as far back as the 16th Century. A rare and marvelous piece that can be proudly displayed in a museum or serious private collection. 32 inches, 81 cm.
