Symbolism and Meaning of the OM and Chitipati
In Tibetan Buddhism, the OM syllable represents the primordial sound from which the universe was created. It is a sacred mantra used to invoke spiritual power, harmony, and inner peace. Wearing an OM amulet is believed to help align one’s vibration with the universal energy, bringing about balance and spiritual growth.

The Chitipati, often referred to as the Lord of the Cemetery, are protector deities who represent the impermanence of life and the liberation from the cycle of samsara (birth, death, and rebirth). Their skeletal form is a reminder of life’s transient nature and the need to cultivate detachment and spiritual wisdom. The Chitipati heads on this amulet symbolize protection and transformation, guarding the wearer against negative energies and guiding them towards enlightenment.

Intricate Design and Craftsmanship
This 19th-century amulet is crafted with exceptional detail. The OM symbol is the focal point, surrounded by the exquisitely carved Chitipati heads, each with striking expressions and intricate detailing. The patina of the amulet reveals its age, giving it a timeless beauty that speaks of its long journey through history.

Measuring 3 cm, this amulet is compact yet powerful, making it ideal for wearing as a spiritual talisman or adding to a mala or prayer bead string. The Chitipati heads encircling the OM symbol create a striking contrast, embodying both protection and spiritual awakening.

Significance of Kapala Material
This OM amulet is made from Kapala material, traditionally used in Tibetan Buddhist rituals. Kapala, often fashioned from human skulls, holds profound spiritual significance, reminding practitioners of the impermanence of life and the importance of dissolving the ego to attain enlightenment.
