Special Copper Prayer Wheel No.296

This eye-catching prayer wheel has a rich, deep colouring offset by striking red and turquoise gemstones. The body has been decorated with traditional Tibetan pattern and the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra. 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. Approx. 13. 5cm × 49cm
