According to Thai artisan Kanda, "The Chinese always associate the horse with gifts given to emperors. For those who wish to have their talents acknowledged by the right people, place this horse in the southern part of your home. The horse symbolizes endurance, loyalty and purity." Kanda pays homage to this noble animal with this ceramic sculpture of impressive detail. A crackled blue glaze finishes this piece.

The OM symbol, representing all sounds and symbolizing the essence of the universe, is nestled among frangipani blossoms in this magnificent hand carved suar wood wall relief panel by Balinese artisan Seji Taram.

Known as om or aum, omkara is the root of all sounds, emitted as a mantra during meditation. It is believed all desires will vanish, thus attaining self-realization and the highest of knowledge. This one letter symbolizes the most high in the Hindu pantheon, representing every kind of trinity such as Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, past-present-future, birth-life-death; creation-preservation-destruction, and waking-dreaming-deep sleep.
