THE BLACK LOTUS  - carved altar piece for Tantric or Buddhist altar. Carved in solid, ebonised walnut. 

This piece was originally designed and commissioned for a Tantric practitioner as a central piece upon a working altar and a focus for daily sādhanā. The carved lotus has a central circle upon which a Shiva Lingam was intended to be placed. Offering bowls could be placed upon the outer petals around the edge. The base of the carving is carved with "Praise to the Jewel in the Lotus" - Om Mani Padme Hum in Sanskrit, the compassion mantra.

I've decided to make this piece more widely available to practitioners who may find it useful in their practice and on their altars. It can use used as a central working area for an altar, for placing offerings, amulets, for pujas within Hindu tantric practice,  as a centre-piece for a Shiva Lingam and for many other uses within meditation and ritual. 

It's a really tactile size -- 26cm wide (10 1/4 inches) from tip to tip, and 2cm (4/5 inch) thick. The walnut is finely finished and ebonised jet-black. It's then waxed and polished.

The catalogue pieces are individually made-to-order. Completion time is estimated at 3-4 weeks. I'll send a few work-in-progress photos as the carving nears complete and once the work is finished and I'm completely happy with the piece, I'll contact you again to arrange delivery.
