This hauntingly beautiful contemporary pendant was handmade by Tibetan Tribal Jewelry artisans living in Kathmandu. The fine silverwork details extend around the back to complete the snake effect (see images) even on the reverse side. Available in choice of Lapis Lazuli or Tibetan Turquoise stones. Large Silver bail for easily stringing on your favorite chain, cord, or ribbon.

 

In many cultures, Serpents also have a positive side to them. They may be seen as protectors, especially when coiled and ready to strike in defense of the wearer. They also symbolize widsom, insight, and longevity for those who engage them, such as with the kundalini and nagas in Eastern cultures. Many groups also revere snakes as healers, which explains why the symbol for the Medical Association is the Caduceus - a stick holding 2 entwined snakes. This gorgeous pendant celebrates the serpent's positive powers and ability to protect.
