Tibetan Ghau

A Tibetan Ghau box is a portable shrine or amulet container used in Tibetan Buddhism to hold sacred relics, prayers, or small statues of deities. Typically made of metal—such as silver, brass, or copper—it is intricately decorated with auspicious symbols and gemstones. Worn as a protective talisman, the Ghau is believed to bring blessings, ward off negative energy, and serve as a personal altar for practitioners during travel or pilgrimage.
