Vintage red copper pendant Surya #2

Vintage red copper pendant depicting the Vedic sungod Surya, in the old Hindu writings also referred to as 'the jewel of the sky'. Though nowadays the worship of Surya is not as highly ranked anymore, temples for him can still be found all through India, showing that Surya once was as important a deity as Shiva, Vishnu and Shakti. 

Surya is both this ancient God of the Sun as the Sun itself and can also be seen as a representation of the element Fire, specifically the heavenly equivalent of the earthly Fire element Agni.

And of course the Sun is a very important great spirit in many more spiritual traditions. Also in traditional shamanism. A sun pendant such as this can be attached to your ritual clothing or attributes, to connect you with the great spirit of the Sun and its enormous power. And of course this one will also be very suitable as a wallhanging-amulet in your altar space or practice room.

This pendant comes from Nepal and is made of red copper. It has a diameter of approximately 8,5 centimeters (measured with the solar flames, but without the eyelet and bells). 

This pendant is from vintage origin and therefore shows some signs of its age and previous usage. As can be seen on the pictures, unfortunately one of the small bells attached to the lower flames has gone missing over time. But of course this one (or all) can be easily replaced with different bells or other attachments. Only one available.
