Description
Buddhist Relic Box Ghau Mahakala with Contents Sealed Rare Round Old Locket Asia
We believe this box is an Asian Tecca, and contains a devotional relic. The contents are covered or wrapped in yellow saffron color silk. It has a window like a locket. The box is sealed, you can see the seal on third photo.
The first photo has been enhanced to show detail. The metal has a dark patina and no decay.
We do not know what the contents are. The box is sealed and has no marks. Looks quite old.
It measure 2 inches in diameter 3/4 inches deep. There are loops on the side, I assume they are for a cord so the box can be worn as a necklace or on a sash or belt.
From the web:
Originally, Ghau Boxes were made of leather or cloth and stored medicinal herbs or precious objects, such as jewelry or relics of important lamas. Later, as Buddhism became more widespread, Gau Boxes were adopted as portable shrines and amulets filled with sacred objects and worn around the neck or carried in pockets.
