This is a lavishly decorated Thai Buddha Amulet from Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi, Thailand. The front of the amulet features a replica of a very old Thai amulet featuring Buddha meditating on a coiled Naga (cobra snake). The Buddha is faceless - meaning, the person inside didn't matter... it's what happened to the person that became Buddha. Anyone can become a Buddha if they apply the principles. The reverse side features a plaque with some Pali holy characters. The case is ornate, thick and brightly colored 18K or 22K gold finish. A great combination with the pearly white finish of the Buddha amulet inside the case. Like the 3 other amulets we have with this pearl shell finish - I really enjoy this amulet. This one perhaps more than the others as there is a lot more of the white pearly material to see. It's a STUNNING Thai amulet - you won't be disappointed with it, nor would someone that received it as a gift. This is a new amulet we will purchase from the temple for you when you order securely through Paypal. *10% of all sales goes back to the temple in the form of a donation. |
