Old Tibetan Brass Seal [4]

Old Tibetan Brass Seal [4]

Sun & Moon SymbolSun-and-Moon

Sun and Moon are depicted on the upper edge of the seal. Left and right side of the top figure sun and moon are visible. They are two of the most important polarity symbols in Vajrayana Buddhism. The sun represents the feminine aspect of wisdom and the moon the male aspect of method or compassion.

This symbols also show the illiterate person where the top of the seal is, preventing the seal impression from appearing upside down on the sealed document.

The seal is in good condition, with only a very small area of damage to the seal impression.
