It is handmade with exquisite Buddhist design

This is “Gawu” box, a very popular handicraft from Tibet.

 

It can be opened for a small item to be put inside. Wear it on a necklace, and you can be protected from evil spirits.

 

Some of these boxes are made of silver, and some are embedded with Lu Song stones.  This one is carved with an exquisite statue of Buddha. It is such a special item.
