Small Traditional Tibetan Windhorse Block Printed Prayer Flag A riderless horse speeds tirelessly across the heavens, carrying an auspicious faceted jewel that radiates peace and harmony. The snapping of Prayer Flags in the wind evokes the sound of hooves of the Windhorse (Lung-Tha) galloping in the sky, riding the breezes and carrying prayers to the universe to benefit all sentient beings. Prayer Flags are printed from hand carved woodblocks in the traditional manner. Enjoy the slow fading of color as they hang in the elements. To dispose of old flags with respect, please burn them. 5" x 5", 12' long Please note that these are traditional prayer flags, they are "unfinished" and may arrive slightly frayed, and will become more frayed as the wind carries your prayers away. The idea is truly that the prayers are placed into the elements. They are to disintegrate over time and as they do their prayers fly into the wind and dissolve. The most appropriate thing to do when prayer flags have become faded and frayed is to burn them because they are prayers and this is the most respectful thing to do. Fair Trade allows artisans a fair wage to support their families. These flags are a cotton/poly blend.
