A pair of early 20th Century Newari Bronze Temple Guardian from Nepal. In the heights of the Himalayas, the Newari people practice both Hinduism and Buddhism and their ornate sacred art includes the pantheon of both religions. This pair of Temple Guardians show rich ornamentation in their eyes, teeth, and the ribbon like wings billowing from their torsos. Masters of religious art, the Newari are world renowned for the detailed, refined beauty of their pieces. They are masters of the lost-wax casting process and it is widely utilized in their metal statues.
The Newa people of the Newari Culture of Nepal are the indigenous people and creators of the historical civilization of Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley. Newars are a linguistic and cultural community of mostly Tibeto-Burman and some Indo-Aryan ethnicities. This pair of mythological animals can be found throughout Asia. In China there are Fu Dogs, in Nepal and Burma they are Temple Guardians. They are a sign of power and stare down anyone who challenges that authority. Protectors of the Dharma they are seen at the entrances to temples and palaces. In Tibet this pair of male and female creatures are known as Snow Lions and are a composite of the Dog, Lion and Dragon. These early 20th Century Newari Temple Guardians will not let any forms of negative energy pass.
Bring peace and harmony to your personal palace with these beautiful guardians. Where they go, negativity cannot follows. Allow them to guard your wellspring of happiness.

Brian - fast service and beautiful jewelry
I bought some jewelry from their lotus galleries on Kauai in the past, but I've never used the website before. Anyways, everything went fast and I didn't have to pay for shipping. I'm very happy with my pearl bracelet, it's beautiful :) Mahalo
Christine - very unique stone
I own a meditation and yoga studio and I had a chance to visit your gallery in Kapaa and meet the owner. Since I got your lingam stone all my students noticed a huge difference in energy flow and feel much calmer when meditating. I've been to India myself and I know how hard is to find them in such a good shape and size. btw. Thank you for your presentation and hope to see you again,
Roy L - good service, we'll buy again
I was surprised to see my Quan Yin garden statue arrive so quickly, it now sits in the garden overlooking the fish pond. I will order again with confidence. Thank you
Crystal - most beautiful pendant I've ever seen
I wear jyotish jewelry all the time and this one is one of my favorites. Thank you very much for your beautiful collection. It'd be nice to see more pictures though.
Maria - thank you !
I love your Tahitian black pearl rings, but please show more pictures for your products, maybe something like a picture of a woman wearing the piece to see how big it is. Thank you for a quick and friendly service, hope to visit Hawaii some time :).
Amy - gorgeous earrings, thank you
The only thing that I'd like to see on your website is more pictures. Other than that everything went smooth and I really enjoy your earrings. Thank you,
Gabi D. - love your shell necklace
I visited your Poipu gallery this summer and it was incredible to see a piece of Tibet in a tropical paradise. I wanted to thank you for this beautiful necklace. Best regards,
James, Santa Fe - found a gift for mother's day
I have to admit I was worrying a little about the shipment from Hawaii arriving on time, but delivery was exceptionally fast and my mother loved the earrings I got for her. Keep up the good work.
Mike D. - amazing collection
I was surprised at the rare collection of artifacts on your website. I particularly collect Buddha statues, but was happy to also find bronze Buddha hands that made a great addition to my house. Thank you for a friendly service,
