Brass Sparrow Bindi

Description

"A bindi (from Sanskrit bindu, meaning "a drop, small particle, dot") is a forehead decoration worn in South Asia (particularly India) and Southeast Asia. Traditionally it is a dot of red color applied in the center of the forehead close to the eyebrows, but it can also consist of a sign or piece of jewelry worn at this location...
"...The area between the eyebrows (where the bindi is placed) is said to be the sixth chakra, ajna, the seat of "concealed wisdom". According to followers of Tantrism, this chakra is the exit point for kundalini energy. The bindi is said to retain energy and strengthen concentration. It is also said to protect against demons or bad luck." -Wikipedia

This darling bindi has been constructed from a large black antique glass sculpted paisely piece, a brass sparrow with jeweled eye, and a few small brass beads. Approx. 1" X 1/2".

All bindi's are handmade and unique, no two alike (unless otherwise explicitly noted)! Created with clear vinyl backing, they can be easily adhesed to the forehead with eyelash glue or spirit gum (recommended for larger bindis). Completely reusuable with proper care.

"Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles or analog computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or a presumption of functionality." - Wikipedia
