Tibetan Ga-Den Tangka Silver Coin in Sterling Silver
- Description
Tibetan Silver Ga-Den Tangka Coin in Handmade sterling silver Frame. Circa 1850 - 1880 AD The Thangka’s obverse shows a lotus flower within a circle surrounded by the 8 Buddhist Lucky Symbols: Chattra- Parasol; protection against all evil. Dhvaja- Banner; the victory of Buddha’s teachings. Sankha- Conch; absence of all evil. Shrivasta- An infinite knot; long life and never-ending love. Dharmachakra- Wheel of the Law; the eight spokes represent the eight-fold path of immortality. Kalasha- vase of abundance; contains water of immortality. Matsyayugma- Golden fish, salvation from suffering, fertility. Padma- The perfect lotus; purity. The reverse shows an 8-petalled wheel/flower within a star surrounded by the legend: “dga’-ldan pho-bran-phyod-las-rnam-rgyal (The Palace of Ga-den is victorious in all directions.)” symbolizing the 8 pathways to enlightenment and good fortune. The legend is written in such a way as to fit into eight circles. This is actually derived from an earlier style in which the characters were inside lotus petals.
The intricate artistry and spiritual power of the coinage type have always been a tremendous lure to collectors

Awesome store and staff! I have been buying jewelry from them since 1975. They have a fabulous selection and really great prices. Their sealife selection is the best around. I love to peek into their Estate cases when I visit. I always find a treasure to bring home.

Really nice selection of jewelry, lots of sea-themed pieces. Julie helped me get a lovely larimar piece and aquamarine ring. Wanted to get more but couldn’t. Next time!

The Cedar Chest carries very beautiful, unique jewelry of the highest quality. I have made many purchases over the years, both in the store and online, and I've always been more than happy with the pieces I've chosen. My most recent purchase was online. I trust them completely. I ordered a medium size rose-gold periwinkle earring and pendant set with a diamond in the centers. They are so beautiful. I want to wear them always! Shelley handled my order with care. She was wonderful. Thanks again, Shelley!
