{"product_id":"lizard-cord-necklace-lbj98","title":"Mahabalipuram Carved Stone Lizard Cord Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is something unhurried about a lizard carved in stone, as though it has always belonged exactly where it rests.\n\nThis cord necklace centres on a hand-carved stone lizard pendant sourced from the workshops of Mahabalipuram, the coastal Tamil Nadu town whose stone-carving tradition stretches back to the Pallava dynasty. The artisans there work in a lineage shaped by centuries of temple sculpture, translating monumental craft into objects small enough to wear close to the skin. The lizard, a motif recurring across South Indian sacred architecture as a symbol of auspiciousness and regeneration, is rendered here with the quiet precision that defines Mahabalipuram's best work: surface texture suggesting scales, the form compact yet alive. Threaded on a simple cord, the pendant sits at the end of a thirty-inch length (approximately 76 cm), and the entire piece weighs just over four grams, keeping it genuinely light at the throat.\n\nWear it against a hand-woven khadi kurta in undyed ivory for an afternoon of quiet errands or a visit to a gallery; it reads equally well over a fine cotton slub sari blouse, adding an unexpected sculptural note to a heritage weave without competing with it.\n\nThe cord closes simply and sits at a fixed free-size length, making it easy to lift on and off. The stone itself requires no polishing and rewards nothing more demanding than an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved Stone from Mahabalipuram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 inch Length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.03 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e LBJ98\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Exotic India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67888084386012,"sku":"LBJ98","price":824.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4082\/6588\/files\/lbj98.webp?v=1792832986","url":"https:\/\/exoticindia.co.in\/products\/lizard-cord-necklace-lbj98","provider":"Exotic India Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
