Ancient endless knot, Tibet.
Tokcha "Fallen from the sky" ཐོག་ལྕགས གནམ་ལྕགས

Tibet, 13th century.

The endless knot or infinite knot is a symbolic knot of the Ashtamangala, the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism. It can be represented as a trellis or a flower.
It is considered to be a pattern of good luck and symbolises the longevity, continuity, love and harmony.

Thogchags or Thokcha are worn as amulets by the Tibetan and Himalayan people as a means of protection and healing. They can be found in many different shapes and often represent tantric deities, sacred animals, symbols and auspicious mantras. Some of them are rather abstract in their nature and their meaning has long been lost over time.

Bronze alloy with occasional traces of meteorites picked up by the Tibetans and added during the melting process.

Dimensions: 7.5 x 0.9 x 7 cm Weight: 88 g
Wear from age. Superb patina.

Registered and insured delivery by post with tracking number.

Good condition, see description - 7.5×0.9×7 cm
