An elephant-headed god who clears the way, hanging at your chest.
Deep black sandalwood rounds with 8 hand-inlaid Tibetan Pearls, each set with metal inlay in the old Himalayan craft. Below hangs a repoussé brass pendant of Ganesha (ཚོགས་བདག, tshogs bdag in Tibetan), the elephant-headed deity honored across Hindu and Buddhist Asia as the remover of obstacles and the lord of beginnings. Tradition invites his blessing at the start of any new venture. Brass is the standard metal for Tibetan-style fittings like this one: warm-toned, workable, and kind to cord.
Meaning: Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the lord of beginnings, honored across Hindu and Buddhist Asia. His blessing is invited at the start of any new venture.
Scent: Faint plain-wood warmth. Honest note: Black Sandalwood is an ebony-family wood, not the scented kind.
Feel: Matte dark rounds punctuated by the cool gleam of hand-inlaid pearls. The brass pendant's repoussé relief is satisfying under your fingers.
Care: Wood, brass, pearl inlay. No soaking. Dry cloth. Brass can be buffed bright with a soft cloth.
