There is an ancient Buddhist legend about a mighty waterfall. Each day the carp in the pools below strive to leap up the dangerous waters, fighting with all their might to reach the top. They not only must fight against the fierce rush of water, they must avoid the giant eagles that try to devour them as well as the fishermen who try to catch them. But for the very few that manage to survive and reach the top, those carp are immediately transformed into the great dragons of myth, symbolizing the difficulty of ordinary people attaining the great state of Buddhahood.
This amazing Tibetan pendant of yellow copal is embossed in silver with the carp on one side, and on the other, with the dragon. Beaded with large pearls, vintage copal beads, and large pure silver spacers from the Hill Tribe people of Thailand, this is a necklace of extraordinary power, reflecting the mythic beauty of the Himalayas. 🐟 🐉
