Buddhist OM Gau Locket

The pictured silver gau pendant has sold - this listing is for a nearly identical piece - it was hand crafted in Nepal using 92.5 sterling silver and beautiful lapis gemstone. Gaus (or Ghaus), are 'hidden box' lockets that were traditionally worn by pilgrams and used to carry an image of Buddha, prayers, or Tibetan medicine. This gau displays the timeless symbol of OM or Aum, the syllable known as the "breath of all life".
