This vintage Tibetan pendant is beautiful but was missing one stone. I replaced it with a raw diamond.
The kalachakra is a complex symbol that points the pathway to harmony and world peace, and is often referred to as the Tibetan version of the peace sign. It depicts the ten interlocking or stacked syllables of the Kalachakra mantra (Om Ham Ksha Ma La Va Ra Ya Sva Ha), commonly known as the 'all-powerful ten'. The interlocking body of this mystical monogram is composed of the seven syllables Ham Ksha Ma La Va Ra Ya written in an Indian/Buddhist Sanskrit script. Above the broad horizontal bar which crowns these seven interlocking syllables is a crescent moon, a sun disc (or dot), and a dissolving flame-tip which completes the ten stacked syllables. An eleventh syllable, the vowel syllable A - representing the element of space - is not depicted, but it merges with all of the consonant sounds as the musical drone of the tonic note gives life to the melodic structure of a musical mantra composition. The entire symbolism of these stacked syllables is extremely complex, encapsulating meanings which relate to all three aspects of the Kalachakra tantra - the external, internal, and alternative.
8mm ebony. 108 mala prayer beads. Strung on strong fireline. Brass accents with handcrafted double-sided Tibetan pendant with buddhist kalachakra on one side and om on the other. Pendant measures 1.5". Necklace length measures 16.5" long.
