Overview: A graceful fusion of woodcarving and brasswork, this round frame is designed to bring a calm, sacred presence to any wall. The outer rim is hand-carved with flowing leaf and vine motifs, while the centre holds a finely detailed brass blessing hand (abhaya mudra) set on a carved lotus — a symbol of protection, purity and serenity.
Design & Symbolism: The circular form stands for wholeness and continuity; the leaf-carved border evokes abundance and growth. The brass blessing hand on a lotus at the center is a quiet reminder of protection and grace — ideal above an altar, in a meditation corner, or as an elegant entryway accent.
Material & Finish: Crafted from premium hardwood with a hand-rubbed antique finish that highlights grain and carved relief. The central motif is cast in solid brass with a warm brushed sheen that contrasts beautifully against the wood’s deep tone.
Dimensions: Round wooden frame diameter: 12 inches. Central brass blessing hand & lotus motif: 7 × 6 inches. The piece has a moderate weight appropriate for secure mounting; exact weight varies slightly due to natural materials.
Installation & Care: Mount securely using a french cleat or heavy-duty wall anchor suitable for the weight. Wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; polish the brass gently with a soft cloth when needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight to preserve the finish.
Why it works: This frame marries temple symbolism with sophisticated interiors — subtle enough for modern homes, reverent enough for traditional settings. It also makes a meaningful housewarming or puja gift for someone who values handcrafted decor.
