Offering Flower

Flower vessels made of imitation amber with different stone settings on top are popular offering items used by Tibetans in their religious practices. These vessels are typically used to hold flowers and other offerings that are placed on altars as a way to honor and show respect to various deities. The imitation amber used in these vessels is a durable and lightweight material that is designed to mimic the look and feel of real amber.
The different stone settings on top of the imitation amber vessel add an extra element of beauty and elegance to the piece. These stones can include a variety of different colors and types, such as turquoise, coral, and lapis lazuli. The stones are carefully selected and placed in intricate patterns and designs that are meant to enhance the overall aesthetic of the vessel.

In Tibetan religious practices, these flower vessels are typically used as a way to show respect and devotion to various deities. They are often used in rituals and ceremonies and can be found on altars in temples, homes, and other places of worship. These vessels are not only beautiful and unique, but they also serve a meaningful and important purpose in the religious practices of the Tibetan people.

The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.
