[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 319523, member: 2844"]That is a very beautiful coin, Bronwen. Yes, it is one of those Eurasian symbols with slight regional differences. I come across that a lot during research for my keris book. Those open-ended ones are also used by Hindus. Vajrayana Buddhism, named after the Vajra/Dorje, has the closed-ended ones. It is a school of Buddhism mainly practiced in the Himalayas. I was looking for a photo of my Tibetan Dorje yesterday, could only find my double one (vishvavajra). Looked again today and it is right next to the other one in the same file.:rolleyes: Anyway here it is, so you get an idea what your little symbols represent, aaron. It is big and heavy, ca 30 cm/11.80", antique, from a Tibetan monastery with strong monks: [ATTACH=full]106268[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
