Tibetan Thogchag amulets .
*
Tibetan Thogchag amulets (whose name means “heavenly iron”)
were at the time of their legendary origins
composed of meteoritic iron.
*
Nowadays, Thogchag are either unusual ancient objects
(most often metal, but sometimes stone),
or bronze (or iron) amulets made by sacred artisans
and sometimes then consecrated by certain Masters.
*
Thogchag can take many forms:
- Ritual instruments ( Dorje, Phurba, Melong ...)
- Tantric deity ( Chana Dorje, Garuda, Citipati )
- Plaque bearing a Mantra.
- Neolithic ax head and various antique objects and weapons.
*
The Thogchag are seen as powerful protections by the Tibetans,
who wear them as pendants and sometimes add them to their malas.
