Tibetan Gau Box

Tibetan Ga'u box (Tibetan: གའུ།, Latin transliteration: ga'u) is a small, portable shrine or amulet box in Tibetan Buddhism. It is both an indispensable traditional sacred object for Tibetan men and women and a national handicraft that combines exquisite craftsmanship with religious beliefs. In modern times, it is often worn as a functional jewelry pendant with a mysterious oriental charm.
