light weight "Tibetan Silver" pendant portrays the wonderful and wrathful dharma protector, Mahakala
Mahakala measures 1.25 inches from the bottom to the top of his attached hanging ring. I have provided a quarter for scale in the picture below. He is just under an inch at his widest point
pendant is unisex in style and comes strung on a simple black cord
Mahakala's Sanskrit meaning comes from its roots of "Maha", or "great", and "kala", meaning "black"\

Mahakala is correctly displayed with his crown of five skulls, which represent the transmutation of the five kleshas (negative afflictions) into the five wisdoms, or five wisdom Buddhas
