Sri Lankan craftsmanship Cushion

The moonstone, or Sandakada Pahana, is a beautifully carved semi-circular stone design that embodies the essence of Sri Lankan artistry and cultural heritage, its concentric bands flowing with intricate patterns of flames, animals, vines, swans, and finally the blossoming lotus at the centre, each layer symbolising the stages of life, human desires, purity, and the path to enlightenment, while its graceful symmetry and delicate detailing reflect not only the spiritual depth of Buddhist philosophy but also the timeless craftsmanship that transforms stone into a work of profound beauty and meaning.
