A rare India pair of padukas sandals and a Hindu ascetic rosary
India, 19th century
Known as padukas, these sandals are associated with holiness in South and Southeast Asian countries. In Hindu and Jain traditions, they can be offered to temples as religious offerings and are considered true objects of devotion. The sandals are accompanied by a rosary, the mala, a necklace made of wooden beads, which is used in prayer and during religious rituals, spiritual practices, and as a support for meditation.
