Product Description
An attractive inclusion to any garden or Buddhist centre. These huge colourful prayer flags carry Windhorse & Tara's prints. These flags are made up of 5 coloured rectangles - blue, white, red, green and yellow. They are made and fairly traded from a small Tibetan Refugee Family business in South India. The flags are hand block printed and sewn using treadle or hand powered sewing machines, as electric power is limited. Each colour flag has 2 prints of the design and ties to secure to a suitable pole.
Traditionally the five elements are represented by the colour of the flags, Blue=space, White=water, Red=fire, Green=air & wind, Yellow=earth.
The flag measurements are approximately 2.75 meters (9ft) high & 75 cm (30") wide. The edges of the small coloured tags on the prayer flags are un-hemmed, as this is part of the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence and thus the flag are expected to loose both their colour and start to deteriorate at the edges.
