Silver Ghau Pendant with Kalachakra Symbol

Delicate round Ghau pendant made of silver: The domed front features the Kalachakra emblem set against a background of a beaded wreath; the sides are adorned with a delicate band of arcades and beaded wire. At the top, a wide, tubular suspension loop completes the body, and at the bottom is a small vajra finial.

The Kalachakra symbol (Tib.Namchu Wangden, “the tenfold power”) combines ten intertwined syllables and symbols to form one of the most recognizable emblems of Tibetan Buddhism.

A ghau (also known as a gao) is a portable Tibetan amulet case used to hold prayer texts, blessed fabrics, or a yantra diagram. The pendant can be opened and closed again. Handcrafted in a traditional workshop in Nepal.
