<p>[QUOTE="Kevolee, post: 4696084, member: 2594"]Hi, I'm not sure I am even in the right forum for this. This is a plate with what appears to be an image on paper applied to it with the Sri Yantra symbol, aka sacred geometry I think, and a fish of some sort with glass over that and a painted gold backing. I thought at first because of the head, the fish may be an Inuit rendering of a salmon but that doesn't add up so I think it may be a Koi fish. It's interesting that the fish has the tails of smaller fish in its mouth. The gold around the outer edge appears to be hand painted. To me the raised glass rim pops out too. When held to light, the gold paint on the back becomes translucent. I have little knowledge of Buddhist philosophy so I am hoping someone can help me tie all of this together. Thanks in advance for any help. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]412884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412885[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412889[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
