Slate is often used for traditional Buddhist carvings, such as Mani stones. These stones are stacked on roadsides and by temples. The name ‘Mani’ derives from the Om Mani Padme Hum Mantra and also refers to all types of these stones. The most common type of Mani stone is a relief carving of this mantra, often painted different colours. These stones are relief carvings. The top layer comprises the pattern or image, while the back layer is smooth. The image is the original top layer of the stone. Look at more of our spiritual artwork available here.
