PRAYER BOX: There has been debate over whether the prayer box originated in the Buddhist or Hindu faith, but these prized religious objects are treasured today by many faiths, and even by non-religious individuals. Originally worn as a religious ritual object, prayer boxes are now used primarily as jewelry and worn for sentimental, not religious, purposes. Prayer boxes come in many different designs, sizes and metals but they all have one thing in common – they are containers for a cherished item of religious or personal significance. All faiths use prayer boxes to focus the mind on one’s prayerful thoughts or secret wishes, typically by writing down a prayer or wish on a small piece of paper and placing it into the box. Doing so is believed by the faithful to make these prayers or wishes come true. This particular prayer box was made out of coin silver and has been soldered shut. It was handcrafted in India and is approximately 100 years old.
