Buddhist Pendant

I was asked by a friend to make a medallion pendant for her boyfriend who is a follower of Nichiren Buddhism (and in the band The Rifles.. http://www.myspace.com/therifles). The brief was that it should somehow contain the chant 'Nam Myoho Renge Kyo'

I decided to base the design on an ancient Japanese coin and have the chant circling round the medallion and then repeating, as one would when chanting.

After some issues with casting I was pleased with the result and more importantly so were they!
