Mudra
Since time immemorial, hand gestures
have been a language in their own right.
Their expressiveness and symbolism have
made them a method of communication.
On this occasion, our artists have focused
on the language of mudras, gestures that
arrived to yoga and meditation from
Hinduism or Buddhism. For the former,
there is a total of 24 mudras, one for each
hour of the day, with each one having its
own different benefits. For the latter, they
are gestures that predispose the body for
meditation and help them to concentrate.
Protection Mudra is inspired by these age-
old gestures and is depicted as a raised
hand with the palm facing outward.
In this particular version, the hand
is decorated with minutely etched
plant motifs intertwined with the
fingers, and with a porcelain flower on
the thumb, as if it were a part of the
pattern that had come to life.
Various shades of golden luster were
used in the decoration, sometimes
with a matte finish, other times
glazed. Meanwhile, the flower,
handmade petal by petal, is in a tone
somewhere between yellow, pink and
a subtle golden sparkle.
