Description
A delightful vintage ethnic beaded necklace, Tibet or Nepal, circa 1960's - 1990's. This beautiful piece has been finely strung with a total of 41 beads, a combination of rudraksha seed and traditional blue and red beads. Sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism rudraksha means "eye of Shiva" or "tears of Shiva" in Sanskrit. They have been worn by Sages and Yogis since Vedic times for their profound spiritual significance and powerful healing properties. Rudraksha beads are made from the dry seeds of the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus) and according to ancient Vedic texts, these beads are endowed with cosmic powers to elevate the soul and assist on the path of ascension. According to Vedic Scriptures, Lord Shiva once went into deep meditation for the well being of all living creatures. When he awoke, he opened his eyes and tears of compassion fell to the earth. These tears took the form of seeds to assist humanity in its healing. The necklace is in very good condition showing a fair amount of expected wear. It weighs approximately 165 grams and measures 28 inches (71.12 cm) long by 0.71 inches (1.8 cm) wide at the widest point. Dashing!
