Galloping horse - silver pendant from the Himalayas

Expressive silver pendant in the shape of a galloping horse. Floral tendrils and blossoms are worked into the back using traditional craftsmanship. The pendant is made exclusively for Atelier Tibet in a traditional Tibetan silver workshop in Nepal - in a small limited edition for the Year of the Fire Horse.

The height (incl. eyelet) is approx. 47 mm, the width approx. 29 mm. The diameter of the eyelet is 5 mm.

In Tibetan Buddhism, the horse - as a lungta or wind horse - is one of the most important symbols of all. It stands for luck, life energy and the upward wind of the spirit:

• The wind horse carries the wishing gemstone jewel (norbu) on its back, thus connecting earth and sky.
• It symbolizes the power to carry good energy and prayers in all directions - which is why it is the central motif on Tibetan prayer flags (lungta flags).
• The galloping horse stands for freedom, strength and the unhindered flow of good fortune.

As these are traditional hand-forged pieces, they may differ slightly from the picture.
