Miniaturist Charm (Hands of Lord Vishnu)

1.77 inches long and 1.02 inches at the widest.

Handcrafted in sterling silver with genuine hand-painted miniature paintings/artworks enclosed between a silver plate and a glass front.

This charm features 'Vishnu-hasta' (hands of Lord Vishnu). If you zoom in, drawn on the hands are auspicious symbols associated with Vishnu in Hindu iconography. Larger versions of such Tantric paintings were generally meant for worship or meditation.

In a quaint home-cum-studio in Rajasthan, each miniature is deftly painted, using centuries-old techniques. Please allow for minor variations in the artwork and color, in keeping with their hand-painted nature.
