Wood, Thayo, Lacquer and Gold Leaf
Fastidiously crafted and formed out of four separate parts, this glorious offering bowl is a bold vision of golden splendor. Luscious thayo (paste made of lacquer and ash) covers the surface in the form of slender lotus-petal shapes that engulf the slim silhouette - it is not only gorgeous, but an unusual design. Each petal follows the gentle curves of the offering bowl and flicks at the ends to create a captivating sight full of life and movement. Coupled with the predominant golden surface with hints of vibrant orange lacquer, this offering bowl is an opulent statement of religious piousness.
