A miniature thangka set in an engraved brass gau box — the portable shrine Tibetans have worn close to the heart for centuries. Hand-finished, wearable art that quietly reminds you to slow down and stay grounded.
Each guardian stands for a quality worth carrying — clarity, compassion, courage, calm. Pick the one you want beside you, or find the one traditionally paired with your Chinese zodiac year.
Or find yours by birth year
Eight hand-finished bodhisattva pendants, each matched to the zodiac signs it protects.
Wealth, protection, compassion — protector deities from the Himalayan tradition, each rendered in vivid mineral color.
“A gau box is a tiny shrine you can wear — a sacred image held against the heart, carried through an ordinary day.”THE CRAFT BEHIND SELENECC
01
A solid brass gau box, its frame and the Ten-Syllable kalachakra seal on the back chased by hand.

Each deity is rendered in vivid mineral-style colour within a frame no larger than a matchbox.
03
Five-color Tibetan thread is braided and finished with brass beads, a coin charm and a small bell.
Every pendant arrives in a brocade gift box with an illustrated meaning card and care guide — ready to give exactly as it is, with a story the recipient can actually read.

The gau box is hand-engraved and the cord is hand-braided. The painted face is a hand-finished mineral-style reproduction set under a protective layer — we say so plainly.
