Filigree Crafted Large Amulet Gau Ghau from Nepal Kalachakra Mandala

Description

Wonderful Tibetan GAU
An extremely rare handcrafted piece!
I bought this Ghaus from a Tibetan in Boudhanath, who lives in exile in Nepal.
The Tibetan amulet can be opened at the back like a small box. Tibetans wear the so-called Gaus around their necks. Religious charms and medicinal herbs are kept in them. They are also often used as "portable shrines".
The beautiful pendant consists of a silver mixture, which was made from old coins. The applications on the Gau are made of silver, copper and brass. Small corals and turquoise were incorporated as stones. The processing is just as fine on the back. There is also an endless knot in the middle, which stands for endless life and endless love. The Gau is beautifully bulbous and round. It represents a Kalachachakra mandala.
Dimensions: 9.0 cm high, 7.0 cm wide, 4.0 cm thick
