"This talisman, which means 'the keeper, the holder,' is believed to protect man from the machinations of the evil spirits and to enable those who hang it up in their houses, or who wear it as an amulet, to resist the temptations to sin prompted by these demons.  The form of this talisman is circular.  In the centre is a smaller inner circle; in a second, larger circle is traced a star, and along the inner side of this circle and in the eight intersectional compartments formed by the corners of the star are inscribed the names of hostile spirits. Outside the circles are seen a male and a female, the arms of the one figure tied with chains to the feet of the other."  From Buddhism in Tibet by Emil Schlagintweit, 1863.  See Strange Talismans for Strange Times.
