Lotus Handheld Taoist Carving

The elongated dark carving tapers at the top. Petal-like layers curve around the body instead of forming a flat printed design.

Sold individually.

Look first at the outline and relief of the lotus handheld carving. Its place in the Daojing collection reflects the use of ornament and inscription to carry a personal intention. Choose the particular design that speaks to the occasion, rather than assuming every motif has the same devotional use.

For a shelf or altar, consider the object from your usual viewing height. Leave enough space around the outline for the carving to be seen. Display supports and neighboring objects in a photograph are not a reliable guide to its scale.
