A mid-to-late 20th-century Tibetan ethnic pendant crafted in gold-plated silver, with an aesthetic inspired by Tibetan Buddhist ritual ornaments. The piece features an elaborate three-dimensional design, incorporating flame shapes, symbolic motifs, and a central white stone that adds brilliance and depth.
This pendant likely represents one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols (Ashtamangala) of Tibetan Buddhism, in this case the "treasure vase" or bumpa, a symbol of spiritual abundance. Details include stylized snakes, lotus flowers, and reliefs in the form of ascending flames, all executed with rich ornamental technique.
