A Vintage find, this pearl necklace is made with 8 mm Fresh Water White Pearls. Each pearl has been hand knotted with double layered chocolate brown wax cording. Finished off with antique bronze chunk chain and grey/brown leather cording, to provide stability near the clasp area. Our walking Buddha amulet pendant is a depiction of the Buddha walking with the left hand raised in a gesture of reassurance and protection. This vision of the Buddha was popularized by the legend in which the Buddha descends from heaven by walking down a ladder. Earlier Buddhist art had stressed the god-like and king-like aspects of the Buddha, and neither gods nor kings were imagined as a walking monk. Most Buddha images throughout Asia are in one of three postures: standing, sitting or lying down. The Walking Buddha represents protection, peace, benevolence, and dispelling of fear. This distinctly Thai image of the Buddha symbolizes his earthly aspects and identification with common people. Born into royalty, the Buddha renounced his title and worldly possessions and spent the rest of his life wandering northern India and teaching.
