<p>[QUOTE="JayC, post: 379742, member: 5121"]I have interesting, (at least to me), piece on which I'm hoping someone might be able to provide background. From the imbedded symbols I believe the bowl has its roots in Hinduism but I can't figure out how. On the top is a relief image of a heron in a pond with a lotus and on the reverse is a Sri Yantra molded into the ceramic. The entire dish is molded in the form of a lotus leaf with hand formed edges. There is no signature or mark, other than the Sri Yantra. The dish is about 10" x 8" and stands about 2" tall.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
