Our bronze is a high-quality Italian alloy of copper and tin that contains an anti-tarnish compound which delays, but does not eliminate, eventual oxidation. Consider this bronze openwork lotus mandala a symbol of wholeness, meditation, and healing. In this many petaled flower charm, the lotus becomes a mandala - a visually appealing, overlapping, geometric form that helps quiet chattering thoughts, appeasing the spirit. From its center to its rim, this mandala's symmetry and beauty is exquisite. Includes 5mm soldered jump ring.
