Temple Lock

These handcrafted locks are very popular among the new-age set.  Temple locks are supposedly used on temple and shrine gates in Tibet.  Then, the locks are sold as a shrine artifact to raise money for the shrine.  The Deity represented on this temple lock is of the Goddess Tara.  So this lock should’ve come from a temple or shine dedicated to Tara.  The lock is said to be magically endowed with the power of that Deity for it is truly a shrine artifact.  Photographed on black Low-Key background at f32 with a 2 second exposure.
