Ghau pendant in silver and brass

Small silver ghau pendant, each with a Buddhist symbol highlighted in brass, with different variations available:

Chri (ཁྲི་): Symbolizes the throne or exalted position of an enlightened being, often associated with wisdom and spiritual authority.

Om (ཨོཾ་): Embodies the essence of universal sound and is the most sacred sound in Buddhism and Hinduism, expressing the union of body, mind and speech with the divine.

Kalachakra (དུས་འཁོར་): Represents the cycle of time and the teachings of the Kalachakra Tantra, which aim to overcome worldly limitation and achieve enlightenment.

A ghau (also gao) is a traditional Tibetan medallion in which written prayers or relics are traditionally kept. This version can be opened. The height is 27 mm (incl. eyelet), the width 18 mm, the depth 7 mm. The eyelet has a diameter of 5 mm, making it a good match for the silver chains and snake chains available from Atelier Tibet. The pendant is handmade for us in a traditional workshop in Nepal.
