{"product_id":"24-inch-yin-yang-wall-art","title":"24-Inch Yin Yang Wall Art - Hand-Painted Mandala Panel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe taijitu - the yin yang - is the Taoist diagram of two forces that contain each other: the dark half holds a light dot, the light half a dark one. On this 24-inch disc the symbol sits at the centre of a hand-painted mandala, the rings worked outward from it in dot and petal detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 inch diameter - two feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2,130 g (approx. 4.7 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDF board, hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging hook fitted to the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it is painted\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two teardrops are laid in first and the mandala is built around them ring by ring, freehand, from the centre out. Keeping a mandala true on a two-foot circle without a stencil is the whole difficulty of the piece - the spacing is held by eye, and small variations in the outer bands are the evidence that a hand made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2,130 g (approx. 4.7 lb) on a rigid 10 mm board. Yin yang decor is usually sold as a printed canvas or a cut metal silhouette; this is a painted surface with dot work you can see from an angle. It is also the quietest disc in the 24-inch series - largely monochrome, which is why it works in a meditation room where the Kathakali face would be too loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeditation and yoga rooms, above a low bench or altar, in a bedroom over the headboard, or in a reading corner. It is one of the few pieces here that reads as neutral rather than Indian, so it sits comfortably in a room with no other ethnic decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive 24-inch discs share this format, each a different subject: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-adiyogi-shiva-wall-art-yoga-and-meditation-decor\"\u003eAdiyogi Shiva\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-handcrafted-warli-wall-art-traditional-tribal-decor\"\u003eWarli village scene\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-kathakali-wall-art-dance-drama-decor\"\u003eKathakali face\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/24-handcrafted-mandala-wall-art-earthy-tones-decor\"\u003emaroon and blue mandala\u003c\/a\u003e.
