P053 Traditional Prayer Box Pendant featuring a teardrop shape Labradorite gemstone. The labradorescence of this Himalayan stone is truly a one of a kind mystical experience and must be observed in person in order to truly appreciate its beauty.

For centuries Tibetans have used prayer boxes as portable shrines where sacred items are kept. The keepsake barrel compartment opens in the middle to accommodate your prayers and dreams.

A style unique in itself, filigree work demands very high skill and precision from the maker. Silver wires, extremely delicate, are shaped into intricate designs. The ancient Newari technique consists of curling, twisting and plaiting fine pliable threads of precious metal into a treasured work of art.

This precious amulet is worn close to the heart on a chain or cord like a locket or pendant. Each item is handmade and may vary slightly in size and color. 46mmx38mm (17mm deep)
