Prayer Flags, Buddhist; line type
Culture: Buddhist

Artifact Age: Other
Historically prayer flags were flown to guarantee good fortune within the nomadic communities of Tibet, however, this ritual shifted and assumed a more expanded significance. Their design now includes mantras, images of Bodhisattvas & auspicious symbols representing wisdom, power, joy, confidence and good fortune.
As the flags fly, the prayers inscribed upon them are carried by the wind carrying their blessings to all sentient beings.
