A TIBETAN GAU is a prayer box amulet , or a traveling shrine...depending on the size...Objects of Devotion are packed inside the box for traveling...
in the early days the Tibetans were primarily Nomadic. This GAO is small and would be used to carry objects of Protection. for example..Hand written MANTRAS ; stones of protection ; items that have been blessed by a Lama..prayer beads ..a good luck object...or even a piece of rice... this particular GAO has a strapping handle on each side and is meant to be worn on the upper arm upper by putting a cord or piece of cloth through the copper side loops....it would be fine to prepare it to hang from the neck as well...the Special feature of this GAO is the DAKINI design on the front...it is Silver Reposse. In the Tibetan Culture. the DAKINIS are the Gatekeepers to the Forces of Transformation. They are the embodiment of the wildly playful Forces in the Universe. *They help release and transmute quot;Stuck Energyquot;. The GAOOPENS by removing the BACK. The back of the GAO is Copper. This piece is entirely Handmade. We collected it in our early travels to Nepal...in the #39;90#39;s. It came from Kathmandu, Nepal from a tiny Tibetan Street Shop...Durbar Square area.
Note: Open and Close gently ...it is hand made and the shape of the back must be protected in order for it to fit tightly.

COPPER Attatchment on each side to thread a cord through to strap around Upper Arm , or as traditionally worn, strap around the torso. .
.close to the Heart. I have strung a Cotton tie on each sideof the Gau to indicate the option to wear iIT, as the Tibetan Nomads did. it is a Beautiful Devotional Object for an ALTAR , especially if it holds Sacred Objects of Power and Protection .
