Tibet Art Ksitigarbha Ghau Box Pendant - Protection
Couldn't load pickup availability
A ghau is the small travelling shrine worn across the Tibetan world, a lidded box that keeps an image or a sacred item close to the body. This one opens on two hinged doors and holds a golden figure of Ksitigarbha, the bodhisattva traditionally called on to safeguard beings in difficulty and to watch over travellers and the departed.
Silver-tone doors pierced with scrolling openwork fold back to reveal the figure standing with staff and jewel against a dark interior. The gold-tone crown and base frame the shrine, with blue and red accents at the crown and a silver-tone bead hanging beneath. A black braided cord is included, so the box can be worn at the chest straight away.
Wear it as a portable place of refuge, a small shrine for the road, for practice, or for keeping a protective presence with you through the day.
