A specific kind of ancient Indian ornament, probably meaning "flower on the front" or "face with a flower." It was made by metallurgists, presumably from gold. The Tibetan has a definition which involves a woman's face. It is probably a central feature of a necklace, in which there is a face and a flower—possibly a face within a flower as is seen on ancient stūpa railings such as those in Bodhgaya.
