VISHNOU animated PENDANT AMULET
Tibet
19th century
Coral, turquoise and brass
Pendant size: H.: 9; L.: 7.5 cm
Length when worn: 32 cm

Rectangular amulet depicting one of the three main Hindu deities, Vishnu, on a background of foliate scrolls and turquoise and coral cabochon flowers. He is seated on Garuda, his vâhana, a highly stylized bird-man.
Eight drop-shaped pendants enliven the lower part of the pendant, while a frieze of turquoise beads encircles its perimeter.
Two suspension rings support a wide, flat-mesh chain. The hook clasp is openwork and richly adorned with floral cabochons in coral beads, centered on a blue hardstone.

This is probably an old amulet box lid mounted as a pendant. These boxes had a talismanic function.
