    The Tibetan Gau is a prayer box or amulet container traditionally used by Tibetan Buddhists as a reliquary to hold and carry sacred objects such as an image of the owners’ personal deity wrapped in silk cloth, along with other holy objects or blessed items. Gaus were traditionally kept in custom-made silk pouches and carried close to the heart by the nomadic Tibetans during their travels as a source of protection and blessings.
