This beautiful Tibetan Gau (Ghau) pendant opens to reveal a hidden compartment for storing the wearer's most precious dreams, wishes, and prayers. The front design is the sacred Double Dorje (Vishvavarja) - symbols for Thunderbolts crossing in the 4 directions. The Double Dorje symbolizes a positive power that cannot be destroyed - one that protects the wearer while imparting great wisdom. The pattern on the back surface of this Gau is the Kalachakra mantra, an all-powerful symbol written in Lantsa script that links the aspects of time, space, and understanding into one field.

 

Tibetan culture is rich with symbolic meanings in virtually every aspect of life, nature, and art. This handcrafted contemporary Tibetan Tribal Gau captures the essence of Tibetan symbolism inside and out.
