This votive amulet is not only an object of meditation: it evokes the ancient tradition of stupas and relics housing tablets as offerings, symbolizing the continuity of merits through time.
Ideal piece for lovers of Asian sacred art, collectors or Dharma practitioners.

📿 Sheltered from tumult and illusion, Avalokiteshvara's arms open in all directions. One carries the bell of recall, another the ring of the cycle of rebirth.
In the scorched silence of the Khmer lands, her faces look beyond shapes, calling compassion into every crack of the world. This tablet, though recent, carries within it the distant song of stone temples and sleeping jungles.
