This fascinating piece custom designed for an American Tibetan Buddhist uses design elements traditional to Vajrayana and developed in 2 dimensional line drawings by the brilliant Robert Beer. The amulet, which was 45 mm in diameter is a four layered, flush soldered, and extensively stamped and textured pendant with a fancy bail. The piece was humg on a byzantine chain, an expensive but spectacular link. Apart from the 16 petalled lotus in the background, a wooden sutra scroll, and Manjushri's flaming sword combine in this one of a kind piece. The piece cost $300. Similar multiple combinations of symbols are a specialty of ours. |
