This colourful and unique hand painted dharma wheel wall hanging has been hand caved from one piece of wood.
The dharma wheel, or dharmachakra in Sanskrit, is one of the oldest symbols of Buddhism. Around the globe, it is used to represent Buddhism in the same way that a cross represents Christianity or a Star of David represents Judaism. It is also one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism. Similar symbols are found in Jainism and Hinduism, and it is likely the dharmachakra symbol in Buddhism evolved out of Hinduism.
A traditional dharma wheel is a chariot wheel with varying numbers of spokes. It can be in any colour, and at the center, there may be three shapes swirling together, a yin-yang symbol, a second wheel, or an empty circle.
The wheel comes with a hanging ring.
Size: approx. 18cm x 22cm
Handmade and Fairtrade from Nepal
