This 19th Century Ayigalu Lingam Shrine Box is a quite stunning piece! Silver lingam boxes such as these were worn by wealthier lay members of the Lingayat sect, devoted to Hindu Lord Shiva. Each box once carried a Jangama Lingam. The Lingam Stone which this beautiful box enshrined was comprised of a small piece of stone carved by an amulet specialist. This piece is currently empty, so you can store whatever you like inside! #shrinebox #ayigalu #lingam #lingambox #lingayat #19century #19thcenturyjewelry #antiquejewelry #boxnecklace #gift #rarejewelry #uniquegifts #christmas #hanukkah #holidays #holidayseason #statementnecklace #shop #shopsmall #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6L9tTbn5rl/?igshid=7q5auoq7vlc7

Bought this Shrine Altar/Prayer Box from someone and added a Mummified Hanging Bat w/ some dried red roses. I really dig this piece so I think it’s going in my own personal collection. 😬 #ShrineBox #AlterBox #MummifiedBat #Oddities #Curiosities #Vintage #Antiques #MacabreAdornments
