Om Pendant from Nepal - Brass with Lapis Inlay

The Om symbol is very important in Hinduism. It is not a word but rather an intonation, which, like music, transcends the barriers of age, race and culture. It is a powerful aid in meditation. 

Om is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds. It is a mantra or prayer in itself. If repeated with the correct intonation, it can resonate throughout the body so that the sound penetrates to the center of one's being, the soul. 

This pendant features a Lapis inlay symbol, 1¾” x 1¼”.
