Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Wheel & Keychain.

The Tibetan prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel made from metal, wood, or stone. It features the Tibetan mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, written on the outside. Tibetans believe that spinning or wearing the wheel has the same effect as reciting the mantra, bringing peace and fortune. The Phurba is a triple-sided Tibetan ritual dagger or stake. It is used to fight evil spirits and symbolizes the worlds’ axis, bringing the three spirit worlds together. The Phurba is not meant to harm any sentient living being, as the blade is not sharp. Both the prayer wheel and the Phurba are handmade in Nepal. The prayer wheel is about 3.5 inches in size, and the Phurba can be used as a key ring or in the form of a beautifully crafted Om Mantra necklace with the mantra engraved around the outside.
