This keychain features a solid brass construction, with the lock in Tibetan culture standing for "wisdom" and the key symbolizing "convenience." Engraved on the keychain in Tibetan is the phrase "the path to personal liberation," while the key bears the inscription "heart, nature." Our intention is that this key might help open the heart and wisdom within each person, allowing us all to discover a sense of inner calm. The set includes one piece, available in both Large and Small sizes, and the simple brass surface, through years of handling, gradually develops a distinct, rich texture.
One side of the key is engraved with the Tibetan script that signifies "heart, nature," and the opposite side bears the word "HEART." As every product is handmade by our craftsmen, you may notice slight variations in size or shape, and these are not considered quality flaws. Please keep this in mind prior to placing your order. Since all measurements are taken manually, small discrepancies are to be expected, so please rely on the actual item you receive.
One face displays the Tibetan inscription "མི་སྒེར་གྱི་བཅིངས་འགྲོལ་ལམ།", translating to "the path of individual liberation" in English. On the reverse side reads "THE PATH OF INDIVIDUAL LIBERATION".
