Antique Tibetan Nine Palaces Bagua Charm - Thai Silver Casing Edition

An antique Tibetan protective artifact from before the 19th century. Crafted from very old meteorite material. Shows red spots and green patina. Appears neither entirely like bronze nor iron. Possesses magnetic properties, attracting magnets. The top loop is broken, subsequently drilled and fitted with an iron ring. Acquired in March 2020. Immediately sent to Thailand for a waterproof casing. Due to the pandemic and lack of personal couriers, its return to Taiwan was delayed by 3 years, arriving in February 2023. Dissatisfied with the aesthetics of the waterproof casing, it was promptly sent back to Thailand for a silver casing. It continued to await personal transport until September 2024. This antique Bagua charm spent a total of 4 years in Thailand. The shipping costs for two round trips were considerable. 42000-113.10.08
