Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka with our meticulously crafted wooden plaque. This exquisite piece features a sterling silver replica of the traditional Sandakada Pahana (moonstone), a significant element in ancient Sri Lankan architecture. Traditionally carved in a half-moon shape at temple entrances, our design reimagines the moonstone in a full-round form, offering a unique and striking presentation.
At the center, a half-bloomed lotus symbolizes Nirvana, the ultimate liberation from suffering in Buddhism. Surrounding the lotus is the intricate liyavel (vine) design, representing desire, followed by a procession of swans that symbolize the distinction between good and evil. The outermost rings depict the four noble truths or life stages — birth, old age, disease, and death — illustrated through a majestic parade of elephants, lions, horses, and bulls.
This sterling silver Sandakada Pahana plaque is not only a beautiful decorative piece but also a meaningful gift that embodies the rich cultural legacy of Sri Lanka. Its intricate detailing and profound symbolism make it an exceptional corporate gift, perfect for clients or colleagues who value artistry and heritage. A thoughtful way to celebrate milestones, express gratitude, or strengthen business relationships.
