A mid-20th-century Thai amulet shaped in the traditional tortoise shell form, a symbol long associated in Southeast Asian amulet culture with longevity, protection, and stability.
The front carries the textured shell pattern, while the reverse bears a spiral mark, a sacred symbol of continuity, return, and cyclical time. The piece is housed in a clear temple casing with a gold interior rim and paired with a 27-inch stainless steel chain fitted with takruds, traditional rolled talismans worn to reinforce grounding and protection.

Note on Sacred Objects
Our pieces often originate in Buddhist traditions, yet their essence is universal. You do not need to be Buddhist — nor hold any specific beliefs — to welcome them into your life. These objects are not bound to religious worship; they are reminders of awareness, compassion, and our shared connection as human beings. Whether worn, carried, or placed in your space, they serve as anchors for mindfulness and presence — a quiet reminder of the truth that we are all connected.
