This is a gorgeous silk embroidered wall hanging with a silk brocade border. The embroidery is of the 8 Tibetan Auspicious, or lucky, symbols. A traditional item found hanging in many Tibetan homes and temples, this beautiful item was made by former students of Tibet Children's Village, qualified Tibetan artisans working in Dharamsala where the Dalai Lama and many Tibetan refugees live. Using their traditional handicraft skills enables them to earn a living in a country with few economic opportunities for refugees.
Trading with such communities is a key principle of fair trade.
