Vintage brass pendant Yellow Dzambala

Vintage brass pendant with the depiction of Dzambala, also named Kubera, the Tibetan Buddhist deity of wealth. According to legend, Kubera himself wasn’t born in incredible wealth, but instead in unimaginable poverty. He needed to gain a lot of experience, wisdom and skill along his way to becoming the keeper of all earthly treasures that he is today. Therefore, Kubera is said to especially appreciate those who adequately assess their capabilities, and try to earn not only money, but also a broad outlook and experience. 

Kubera rewards those who work hard for an overall rich and full life on all 3 main roads of life; health, career and personal life. He helps to gain, keep and increase not only material and financial wealth, but also a wealth of experience, knowledge and wisdom. He helps to keep a clear overview of where to focus on, where to wisely spend your money, time and energy on and where all this would be wasted and you’d better just stop and walk away.

Kubera is often seen as a deity with 5 different aspects. Each aspect represents wealth on another area of life. This pendant shows ‘Yellow Dzambala’. Yellow Dzambala increases wisdom, luck, prosperity and longevity. He contributes in obtaining material and spiritual wealth by becoming a worthy recipient for it. Yellow Dzambala is recognizable by the mongoose in his left hand. The mongoose is said to spew a continuous flow of jewels from its jaws, symbolizing a bountiful and unlimited supply of jewels, wealth and auspiciousness. Dzambala's right hand holds a 'wish-fulfilling jewel'; symbolizing how he is able to fulfill all righteous desires and reasonable needs that come from good (not greedy) intentions.

Sizes: approximately 40 millimeters high (measured without the eyelet) and 42 millimeters wide. Weight is 30 grams. This pendant is from vintage origin and shows some signs of its age and previous usage, but is overall still in good condition.
