Antique Hanuman Silver Pendant from India

This is a very large, well-made old silver pendant that was handcrafted in Northern India in the early 1900’s. It is in excellent condition, with crisp details and warm age patina intact. There are traces of red vermillion powder in the crevices from years of loving wear. Collectible, wearable old Tribal Jewelry from Northern India.

This wonderful old pendant depicts Hanuman, a much beloved Hindu monkey-god. Hanuman's boundless feats and selfless character are celebrated in the epic Ramayana that describes his super-human actions performed in his devotion to Ram. He symbolizes our better selves…of loyalty, selflessness, and an unflagging dedication to others.

India enjoys a wonderfully rich cultural and religious heritage that goes back for thousands of years. As always, please consult an expert in the field for exact interpretation and to verify iconography.
