Impressive shaman necklace with many attributes! – Nepal

Impressive Himalayan Style Shaman Necklace with Rudraksha, Boar Tusks, Snake Vertebrae, and Bronze Bells – 142 cm

Are you looking for a special and characterful ethnographic object full of symbolism? This generous necklace beautifully brings together all the fascinating elements and deep symbolism of the Himalayan region (such as Nepal and Tibet). It is a beautifully composed and handmade piece that is ideal as a striking eye-catcher.

The base of the necklace consists of the characteristic, deeply grooved Rudraksha seeds (the tears of Shiva), which have traditionally been known in the region for their spiritual and protective properties. The design is richly supplemented with specific traditional attributes: the six boar tusks symbolize strength and fearlessness, while the two sections of genuine snake vertebrae are associated with transformation and warding off negative influences. The four cast bronze bells reflect the instruments used in the spiritual world to produce sounds that guide energies.

The object is in excellent, unworn condition and showcases the rich material variety of these traditional compositions. A beautiful, handmade, and symbolic piece.
