Group of 5 ghurra from Bajura Valley, West Nepal. All 5 of them are made from hard dense redish wood. They show beautiful wear and obtained an  amazing patina of long live and extensive use. 1st half 20^th century. Including the custom-made base. Collected in Nepal. A ghurra keeps the churning-rod on its place during the churning of the milk. The Hindu and Buddhist Nepali beliefs in the myth that ‘man & woman’ were created after the Gods churned the primal ocean. So, what Darwin said 150 years ago; that all life came from the ocean, the Nepalis know this since thousands of years. Please ask for price.
