Tibetan repousse silver prayer wheel with a wooden handle, mid-20th century. Prayer wheels, sometimes referred to as "mani korlo" have been mentioned in texts dating to the 11th to 13th century. They are used by placing a tightly coiled text containing mantras, often hundreds of thousands printed with a woodblock, within the wheel and spinning with the weight at the end of the chain to sustain the spinning.
