Delicate Tibetan Lapis Red Coral Inlay Carved Holy OM Mantra Om Mani Octagonal Ghau Prayer Box Amulet Pendant Ghau or the Prayer box is a small box type pendant to keep small sacred items, such as Turquoise (to ward off evil), lection or Tibetan incense etc. Traditionally, Tibetans use these Ghau as portable shrines where prayers and sacred relics are kept. Now, "prayer box" pendants are often used as jewelry or personal adornment. Delicately hand crafted by the local craftsmen of Kathmandu Nepal in vintage style Mantra OM at the center of the front, over oval small area natural red Coral inlay artwork, with 6-word Holy Mantra "OM Mani Padme Hum" at outside, over natural lapis Lazuli inlay artwork Octagonal shaped, for the size roughly 40*21*9 mm (height * width * thickness with the bale). Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm The box opens from the back, with empty inside. Tibetans often use the box to keep sacred prayer books Metal material: white copper, with plain back side Om Mani, the first two letters of the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum invokes the spiritual power and blessings of Chenrezig, the Buddha of compassion. According to Tibetan religion, [Chenrezig] is the awakened nature of each being's own mind, the love and compassion primordially present in the dharmakaya [pure transcending awareness] ... Chenrezig is within us because love and compassion are not qualities added to the mind, but are inherent in our true nature. Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying this mantra out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolence and blessings of Chenrezig. Viewing a written copy of the mantra or wearing a bracelet is said to have the same effect. For protection in all directions and to bring love and spiritual harmony into your journey. Definitely an exquisite and valuable handicraft for collector to grab! Fast and very reliable shipping from California, why wait? Key Product Knowledge about hand crafted vintage style jewelry All my Tibetan jewelry are hand crafted by very skilled local artists in Nepal / India, and most of them are in vintage style. Please read some materials regarding hand crafted vintage style jewelry from Nepal / Tibetan before any purchase, as such style jewelry may be not that smooth all around, and there may be residue material for vintage effects on both the front and the back (please only clean the inner side if necessary, as otherwise, the vintage looking would be damaged), also quite some are with various small stones that are super glued to the setting and these stone may become loose (please super glue such loose stone back to the setting when needed). These characteristics are very different from modern style jewelry, of which quite some are machine made, with exact same pattern same stone and smooth all around. Most jewelry worn in Tibet and Nepal is for its protective properties and its beauty. All my listed Amulets are protection effective, as they have been activated by a Buddhist Lama or a Brahmin Priest. Please refer THE JEWELRY OF NEPAL by Gabriel for wonderful information and superb pictures.
