Item Description
Every feature of the face of Buddha has a special meaning. If you look at the features of the wood Buddha mask carefully, you could also understand the meaning and culture behind it.The large earlobes are associated with the wealthy class that Buddha was born into. The top knot or ushnisa is a symbol of spiritual wisdom, while the hair curls. Half-closed eyes and smiling mouth represent deep meditation and peace of mind. There is a great sense of inner serenity and power with the achievement of perfection and compassion represented by these heads and carvings of face masks. If you hang it in your house, you too may feel deep feelings of peace and serenity.
