Snow lion - silver pendant on a black cord

Powerful pendant made of oxidized silver with a three-dimensionally crafted snow lion in a belligerent stance - open mouth, detailed chiselled fur, the characteristic tail loop as part of the figure. The vivid detail work is typical of traditional Nepalese silversmith craftsmanship. On a black leather cord with a spring ring clasp. It is made exclusively for us in a Tibetan workshop in Nepal.

The snow lion ( Sengge, Tib. སེང་གེ།) inhabits the summit regions of the Himalayas according to Tibetan belief and embodies fearless joy, a clear mind and unshakeable strength. It is one of the four dignified animals of Tibetan cosmology - alongside Garuda, dragon and tiger - and has adorned the Tibetan flag as well as royal and religious garments for centuries. When worn as jewelry, it is considered a symbol of protection and inner fearlessness.
