☛ Prayer Wheel: Brief Introduction
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather, or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in the Newari language of Nepal, on the outside of the wheel. Also sometimes depicted are Dakinis, Protectors, and very often the 8 auspicious symbols Ashtamangala. At the core of the cylinder is a “Life Tree” often made of wood or metal with certain mantras written on or wrapped around it. Many thousands (or in the case of larger prayer wheels, millions) of mantras are then wrapped around this life tree. The Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is most commonly used, but other mantras may be used as well. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the lineage texts regarding prayer wheels, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.
☛ Dark chocolate Oxidized
The Prayer Wheel features a stunning full dark chocolate color oxidation finish, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. This exquisite oxidation process involves treating the surface of the Prayer Wheel to create a rich, deep brown color reminiscent of decadent chocolate. Through careful application and controlled oxidation, the statue achieves a uniform and lustrous dark chocolate hue. This captivating finish enhances the intricate details and textures of the Prayer Wheel, adding depth and dimension to its overall appearance.
