Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sanskrit Ring

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Ring with Sanskrit Engravings: Hand-carved using wax casting and forged from 925 sterling silver. The sides of the ring are meticulously crafted to fully represent the symbolic significance of the Bodhisattva's original ritual implements. On the right is the Khakkhara (錫杖), which opens the gates of hell, allowing all beings within to be liberated. The small copper element on the Khakkhara symbolizes the striking of the staff and ring, creating a sound to awaken sentient beings lost in suffering. On the left is the Cintamani (摩尼寳珠), the wish-fulfilling jewel that illuminates all realms of existence, liberating all beings from suffering and leading them to joy. The ring and the Sanskrit inscription of Ksitigarbha are cast separately and then meticulously soldered together in a secondary process. This dual-casting technique enhances the ring's superior, refined, and three-dimensional texture, adding to its value beyond what a single-piece casting could achieve. Total Weight: Approximately 13.2 grams
