This large Tibetan Wood Gong, measuring 32.5" H by 22" W by 14" D and featuring a hand-painted depiction of Lord Buddha, is mounted on a stand with a mallet striker. Surrounding the gong are trees and two figures, while the stand itself is adorned with a peony flower design for good luck. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, peonies represent nobility, loyalty, friendship, and enduring love, making them a symbol of spiritual development. The wooden mallet is included. Touching a gong is believed to bring a person good luck, health and happiness; however, it is important to have permission to approach a gong.
