Large silver snow lion pendant

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. It is made exclusively for us in a Tibetan workshop in Nepal.

Pendant 42 × 26 mm · Eyelet diameter 5 mm.

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.
