This Tibetan Thogchak pendant shows the Tibetan Lucky Symbol Conch Shell.
The White Right-Turning Conch Shell [Sanskrit: »sankha«, tibetisch: »dung«] represent the beautiful, deep, melodious, piercing and penetrating sound of the Dharma that awakens disciples from the deep slumber of ignorance and urges them to achieve their own welfare for the benefit of others.
It is believed that the conch shell was the original horn trumpet - in ancient Indian mythical epics, heroes wear these conch horns. The Indian god Vishnu is also described as possessing a conch shell as one of his main emblems.
This pendant is worn by people who are committed to spreading the teachings of Buddha, as a symbol of their Buddhist beliefs. You can attach a cord to the eyelet at the top of the thogchak in order to wear the pendant.
Age: Unfortunately, it is not possible to estimate the age with any certainty. The design of conch shells has remained virtually unchanged over the centuries, so it is impossible to determine their age from their appearance. To avoid providing incorrect information, we therefore classify it as 20^(th) century. It may be older, but this cannot be guaranteed.
