Description
This is a vintage South Asian, Indian or Tibetan Gau Medallion with a large hidden box (for prayers, photos, sacred objects or even pills) in 925 silver. We've paired it w/ a black leather and 925 silver 18" 1.5MM cord necklace.
The filagree floral motif is topped with lapis and coral beads and the back features two scrolls at the top and the bottom (just decorative). It may have been decorated with copper at one point and the inside has some traces of glue (for a devotional photo?)
Weight: 26g
Dimensions: Approx. 2"x1.75
Fun Fact: What's the difference between an amulet and a medallion? An amulet is a protective object, whereas a medallion is mainly decorative. Might this be both?
