A vajra finial forms the handle of the gem-set circular dome, removable to reveal a recessed vessel containing a sacred water vase (kalasha) inset with lapis lazuli. The square tiered pedestal is decorated with gem-encrusted aprons on each side with and supported by crouching lions at each corner: cf. a near identical example at Sotheby’s New York, March 16, 2016, lot 773: https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2015/indian-himalayan-southeast-asian-art-n09478/lot.773.html?locale=en.
