This sacred necklace, which is 15cm in height and 18cm in width, is expertly created and decorated with delicately engraved pure silver inlay, copper detailing, and turquoise stones, making it visually gorgeous and spiritually resonant.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the conch shell is traditionally associated with purity and awakening. It has long been used to summon supernatural creatures, proclaim prayer times, or mark the beginning of a rite. This piece is created with remarkable artistry, featuring intricate repoussé work and sacred animal symbols, such as elephants and tigers, which stand for strength, wisdom, and protection. This heavy and solid object, which weighs 0.636 kg, is perfect for putting on altars at home, in meditation areas, or as a component of a puja package. In addition to adding to its beauty, the implanted turquoise stones offer protection and spiritual healing.
Introduction to Sankha
In Buddhist worship, the conch shell is used as a trumpet or offertory receptacle and represents Buddha's spoken voice. It is one of the lucky Buddhist symbols, reflecting the victory of Buddha's teachings, which spread omnidirectionally like a conch shell's voice. The conch shell is a sign of power, authority, and sovereignty; its sound is thought to ward off evil spirits, prevent natural disasters, and frighten away dangerous creatures.
