Details
This is handcrafted Tibetan handheld spinning Prayer Wheel. This sprining prayer wheel was made from Sky Iron and has detailed handcrafted Tibetan traditional design with Copper wire inlay. It was used for travel or daily pray. Sky Iron is an item that plays an important role in Tibetan culture. It is regarded as an amulet to ward off evil spirits and a precious collection. The Tibetan name for Sky Iron is "Tojia", which is literally translated as "iron from the sky" or "iron falling from the sky". It is usually made into various instruments and is used in Buddhist rituals and practice. The composition of sky iron is mainly a combination of iron, nickel, silver and other metals. Sometimes it also contains meteorite, but not all sky iron is meteorite. The formation process of Sky Iron is considered by Tibetans to be a mysterious process. There is a legend that they fall on the sacred mountain with thunder, and those who are lucky enough to pick it up will receive the protection of the God of Thunder. In Tibet, the status of Sky Iron is equal to that of Dzi beads and spiritual bones of guru. It is not only a symbol of spirituality, but also represents a kind of wealth and dignity. Look at the pictures, fine craftsmanship and sturdy construction made it a beautiful home decor or gift.
