Product Details

Traditionally, Tibetan Prayer Wheel is a typical religious utensil. This fine hand prayer wheel is made of fir. It is painted with lively auspicious motifs. The whole exhibits typical Tibetan color application - red, yellow, and black. What a wonderful piece for decoration! ABOUT TIBETAN PRAYER WHEEL: Rotating prayer wheel is a famous religious convention among Tibetan people who generally follow Lama religion, namely Tibetan Buddha.

The turning of the Buddhist prayer-wheel, either by hand or by the power of wind or water, is supposed to be tantamount to repeating the doctrines of Buddha, which are sometimes written out and attached to the Wheel.
