Special Copper Prayer Wheel With Jade Band No. 408

Striking copper prayer wheel decorated with intricate sanskrit and traditional Tibetan pattern, and embellished with pretty red gemstones. The rich metallic colouring contrasts beautifully against the striking jade coloured band.

Prayer wheels are traditional Buddhist items that contain a small scroll inside printed many times over with a mantra, usually Om Mani Padme Hum. Devotees believe that turning these wheels has the same meritorious effect as repeating the mantra verbally.

These wonderful hand held versions are often called Mani wheels (or mani-chos-'khor in Tibetan.) Working on the same meritorious principles as the larger, temple style; they are designed to be portable, practical and beautiful.

Unique item. Please do not order more than one.
