Little Monk – Lotus in Hands

Description

Part of the “In the Old Days” product line, this is a figurine depicting a Buddhist monk holding a lotus flower. The lotus flower symbolizes purity of the body, speech, and mind as while rooted in the mud, its flowers blossom on long stalks as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. It is also symbolic of detachment as drops of water easily slide off its petals.

Carefully made and painted by hand, they’re enjoyed in Korea not only as collector figurines but also as educational items for children to learn about the past.
