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 or moonstone, a significant element in ancient Sri Lankan architecture. The half-moon shaped stone is embossed with a half lotus, symbolising Nirvana, the ultimate liberation from suffering in Buddhism. Surrounding the lotus is the intricate liyavel design, representing desire, followed by a procession of swans that symbolise the distinction between good and evil. The plaque further showcases the four noble truths or life stages - birth, old age, disease, and death - through a procession of majestic animals: 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 heritage of Sri Lanka. Its intricate detailing and profound symbolism make it an excellent corporate gift, perfect for clients or colleagues who appreciate unique artifacts and the history behind them.
