Details

In Southeast Asia it is said that when Buddha's mother was about to give birth, she dreamt a white elephant came to her offering a lotus, symbol of purity and knowledge. When Buddha is depicted riding an elephant, it is believe it will bring good luck and health. Putu Oka Mahendra transforms legend into a mesmerizing ceramic teapot featuring a rattan handle.

"Sacred Dome of Light"

It was delivered packaged secure and tried to take a picture but unsuccessful but it was perfect everything. The most touching part was the next day with I lit it with a darker room I noticed the lovely Star/Moon/Sun reflected on the wall behind it. It was fabulous and thank you Putu and your mother for the support.
