Indonesian Card Case with 3rd Eye Flame Motif

A black pouch with a teardrop window and a little pale metal flame on top.

This sterling silver card case with third eye flame motif is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. The third eye is a concept from Hindu and Buddhist traditions that generally refers to inner perception or spiritual insight. A rounded rectangle in matte black with a pebbled texture, bordered with thick stitched edging. A bright metal flame ornament sits near the top, and below it a teardrop-shaped outline frames a scaled patch. It is 2.5 inches long and 3.75 high.

A quiet little flame over a very dark backdrop.
