A nice Nepali Dorje silver bead pendant. You can put a cord
through the bead. The hole goes throught the entire
dorje. Comes with a slight patina. A really pretty and solid piece.
The dorje (vajra) is a Sanskrit word meaning both thunderbolt
and diamond. It is also a symbolic ritual object that symbolizes the properties
of a diamond (indestructibility) and a thunderbolt (irresistible force).
