A Chinese Tibetan astrological protective pendant L. 5.5 cm. W. 4.2 cm. Weight 20 grams. A Chinese Tibetan astrological protective pendant, measuring 5.5cm long, 4.2cm wide, weighing 20 grams. Cast in brass‑alloy, this circular amulet features deeply chased traditional Nine‑Palace astrological diagram encircled by twelve zodiac creatures and symbolic emblems across its face. A solid suspension loop extends from the top for wear. The metal exhibits a soft warm patina from long‑term handling. Fine relief carving defines every motif, with minor surface abrasions consistent with devotional use and age.
