This beautiful antique silver pendant is part of a collection we personally acquired in Bundi in Rajasthan on a recent sourcing trip. All genuine, original worn tribal pieces.
This body of this pendant would have been beaten from a single sheet of high grade silver over a bronze die, or stamp, before being embellished in an artisan workshop, a rich tradition that continues to this day. SEE SIMILAR IN IMAGE 9. NOW SOLD. This amulet of Tejaji has been produced in high quality Indian silver and is a genuine antique piece.
Veer Tejaji (29 January 1074 - 28 August 1103) also known as Tejaji Maharaj, or simply Tejaji, was a great warrior, social reformer, cow protector and folk-deity in Rajasthan. In rural parts of northern Rajasthan, he is revered as a deity and is considered to be one of Lord Shiva's eleven primary incarnations.
Originating from the tribal areas of the Thar Desert, and the Aravali Hills, artefacts such as this still bear an earthly charm, and reflect a time-honoured integrity.
