This is a traditional Chinese Buddhist-inspired protective amulet card for the Year of the Snake, crafted in gold-plated metal with intricate religious iconography. The front features a serene depiction of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra seated on a lotus, surrounded by auspicious motifs and Chinese characters invoking blessings and protection ('南無普賢菩薩' — Namo Samantabhadra Bodhisattva). The reverse side displays red snake symbolism, eight-character mantra text, and '蛇珍藏' (Snake Treasure Collection) marking, signifying its role as a zodiac talisman. Measuring approximately 5cm × 8cm and weighing 11g, the card has a decorative Greek key border and is designed to be carried in wallets, purses, or hung as a charm for spiritual safeguarding. Ideal for individuals born in the Year of the Snake (e.g., 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025) seeking harmony, wisdom, and protection according to Feng Shui and Buddhist traditions. Not a fashion accessory per se, but a cultural/religious object used in daily life for spiritual reassurance.
