Description: An authentic Tibetan ceremonial mask pendant made of silver & multi-gemstones. By the 11th century, Nepal and Tibet had very strong trade links. Nepalese artisans imported from Tibet: turquoise, coral, lapis lazuli and all kinds of semi-precious stones. Newar craftsmen also worked with wood, metal and pearls. In the 12th century, these Nepalese artisans began to migrate to Tibet and work for the great monasteries. Nepalese jewelry became popular for everyone in Tibet, then synonymous with wealth. Due to the unstable political situation in Tibet in the 50s, most of the jewelry makers returned to Kathmandu between 1950 and 1960. Most jewelry from Nepal is made of brass, copper and silver. Some jewels are in 22 karat gold (dark yellow). Jewelry was made from turquoise and coral until the 16th century. Then the Nepalese used other stones, including rubies and sapphires from Sri Lanka and Burma. Today they use a lot of semi-precious stones, coming from India: amethyst, amber, jade, agate, garnet, lapis lazuli, carnelian and opal. Yak bone, wooden beads and seeds are also popular in Nepalese jewelry. It is an absolutely amazing piece. This Tibetan/Nepalese monster mask amulet pendant is set in silver and filled with beautiful colorful semi-precious stones such lapis, coral, and turquoise . It is a one of a kind original piece. This rare historical piece can be used as art on display or worn as stunning statement pendant. It measures 2.25 x 2.125 inches and weighs1.86 ounces.
