The eye is lowered, the hair in tight curls, and only half the face is shown, the rest left as plain stone. The half-face is an old Buddhist device: the Buddha looks inward and the viewer supplies the rest. Obsidian has long been kept for grounding and protection, worn to hold the attention steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrung on a full chain of black beads with a single gold bead at the bail, it sits under a shirt without showing. Often bought by a man who wants a Buddha on him but not on display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serenity Art \u0026 Homes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49897278668952,"sku":null,"price":132.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/5517\/7368\/files\/ice-obsidian-buddha-face-necklace-hero-v2.png?v=1792550819","url":"https:\/\/www.serenityartnhome.com\/products\/ice-obsidian-buddha-face-necklace","provider":"Serenity Art \u0026 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
