This Tibetan antique pendant originates from the year 1850. The piece is fashioned from honey ochre bone and metal, exhibiting a deep rich patina and high-relief carving of a deity figure with a top suspension loop. The carved scene depicts a buddha offering food, rendered with detailed facial features, clothing folds, and surrounding decorative motifs. A small loop is attached to the top edge for hanging, and the bone displays natural grain variations alongside dark recessed shadows that accentuate the carved elements. Measuring 5.2 cm high, 3.5 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, this item serves as a portable personal ornament that can be displayed on a stand or worn as part of a collection. It suits bohemian-inspired interiors and personal accessory collections focused on traditional ritual items.

FAQs

In Tibetan tradition, carved bone items hold deep spiritual significance, often crafted from bovine or yak bone to symbolise impermanence, mindfulness, and spiritual protection within Vajrayana Buddhism.

These pieces are predominantly hand-carved from natural animal bone, featuring fitted metal suspension loops or mounts, often made from brass, bronze, or white metal alloys.

Authentic carved bone displays subtle natural graining, gentle surface patination from handling, and varied depths in carved recesses, unlike modern uniform moulded plastic or synthetic imitations.

A carved bone pendant can be suspended on a simple leather cord or silver chain as a focal neckpiece, or mounted within a glass box frame as part of an ethnographic collection.

Keep carved bone away from excess moisture, submersion, and direct heat sources. Clean gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to preserve the natural surface finish.
