Handmade Hill Tribe Om Pendant
Product Description
The Karen Hill Tribe in Northern Thailand are masters of silversmithing. This piece has the unique handmade quality that is characteristic of their work.
Living a traditional life of agriculture, these semi-nomadic tribes augment their income with unusual sterling silver pieces that are usually made outdoors with very primitive tools and techniques.
This pendant features the "om" symbol, a traditional Sanskrit letter that refers to what mystics call the 'sound of the universe." There is said to be an analogy between this sound and the Christian belief that "in the beginning there was the word, and the word was God."
This pendant is sterling silver and measures about the size of a dime. It is entirely handmade in Thailand.
