Amulets and talismans have an ancient tradition in Tibet. One variant of these are silver ghau boxes, which are traditionally worn around the neck in Tibet and come in many shapes and sizes. Amulets, writings with prayers, mantras, pictures, small Buddha statues or Tibetan medicine pills are placed in them, which can exert their protective effect on the way.
This ghau, which probably dates back to the 19th century, is a wonderful example of Tibetan filigree craftsmanship. It is made of richly decorated silver adorned with eleven blue turquoise stones.
