The Gau prayer case (also ghau or gao), is a Tibetan Buddhist amulet container, made of metal and worn as jewelry. Used as a small container to store and carry powerful amulets or relics, the gau is culturally equivalent to Latin American packet amulets, African-American incantation bags or mojo hands, South American charm vials, and American wish tins. As used in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia, the gau tin typically contains a written prayer or a sacred mantra chart such as the Kalachakra. The prayers and mantras are usually inscribed or hand-printed in woodblock by a cleric, and are always blessed before use. We also have blank lockets, ideal for inserting your own prayers or mementos.
Cylindrical container with removable lid.
Adjustable cotton cord with decorations, length 31 cm.
