Description

  • An unusual and more contemporary round Gau box or amulet case popular throughout the ages in Himalayan countries like Tibet, Nepal. Bhutan and parts of northern India. 
  • 27mm diameter with small coral insets. 10mm thick.
  • The back of the box can be removed, be very careful to do it gently so you don't deform the thin metal that make the seamless fit without needing a catch or cord.
  • These boxes traditionally contained prayers written on paper or cloth, herbal medicines or objects known for their protective properties.
  • This one is relatively new I've had it about 15 years. It's stamped with 92.5 on the back indicating sterling silver content. I was told it was made in Nepal, by Tibetan refugees.
