Blue Carved Bone Buddha Face with Moonstone Pendant

Blue Carved Bone Buddha Face with Moonstone Pendant

The face exhibits serene, closed eyes and a calm expression, characteristic of Buddha representations in art and sculpture. Such depictions are common in Buddhist iconography and are often used in jewelry and religious artifacts as symbols of peace, enlightenment, and spiritual wisdom.

It is adorned with a stylized crown / headdress, inlaid with a small, moonstone gemstone at the forehead to represent the third eye.

The blue carved bone is from a milk frog

Amazon milk frogs symbolize different things in various cultures. In some cultures, they are associated with rain ceremonies and are seen as protectors of the forest. In others, particularly in ancient cultures like Egypt and Mesopotamia, frogs in general symbolize fertility, and the Greeks and Romans also associated them with fertility, harmony, and even licentiousness. The Amazon Milk Frog's distinctive milky secretion, which is actually a poison, also leads to it being seen as a creature that can ward off threats.
