Big Adjustable Tibetan Delicately Carved 8 Auspicious Symbol Yak Bone Slip Beaded Amulet Necklace - use slide bead to adjust to fit all! Big Tibetan amulet necklace made of 5 yak bone slips (with the center biggest roughly 52 * 32 mm, height * width, slightly over 2 inches in height), each adorned with one of the 8 Auspicious symbols, exactly as pictured, with the Yak bone slide bead to adjust to fit all! To make a symbol, the craftsman first cut the yak bone into small blocks and then sand them down by hand; then the yak bone is dyed into dark brown using tea; the last step is to hand carve the symbol onto it. Making such a yak bone slip requires a long and tedious process. The eight Auspicious Symbols represent the core of the Tibetan religion - Compassion is what makes our lives meaningful. It is the source of all lasting Happiness and Joy, and it is the foundation of a Good Heart, the heart of one who acts out of a desire to help others. The Eight Auspicious Signs are: Dhvaja - the banner signifies the victory of Buddhism Kalasa - the vase represents the treasury of all spiritual wealth Padma - the lotus flower implies purity Sankha - the white conch shell symbolizes the blessedness of turning to the right and proclaiming the glory of the saints by its humming sound Srivatsa - the endless knot denote the endless cycle of rebirth Two Fish - epitomize being rescued from the ocean of the misery of earthly existence Wheel of Dharma - embodies the teaching of Buddha's doctrine White Parasol - indicates protection from evil desires By wearing such beaded necklace, it is believed that it will protect you from all evil spirits and bring peace and harmony to your life. Definitely an exquisite and valuable handicraft necklace! It won't last long, why wait? Key Product Knowledge about hand crafted vintage style jewelry All my Tibetan jewelry are hand crafted by very skilled local artists in Nepal / India, and most of them are in vintage style. Please read some materials regarding hand crafted vintage style jewelry from Nepal / Tibetan before any purchase, as such style jewelry may be not that smooth all around, and there may be residue material for vintage effects on both the front and the back (please only clean the inner side if necessary, as otherwise, the vintage looking would be damaged), also quite some are with various small stones that are super glued to the setting and these stone may become loose (please super glue such loose stone back to the setting when needed). These characteristics are very different from modern style jewelry, of which quite some are machine made, with exact same pattern same stone and smooth all around. Most jewelry worn in Tibet and Nepal is for its protective properties and its beauty. All my listed Amulets are protection effective, as they have been activated by a Buddhist Lama or a Brahmin Priest. Please refer THE JEWELRY OF NEPAL by Gabriel for wonderful information and superb pictures.
