This piece tells the Bodhi leaf’s own story. A seated, meditating Buddha rests beneath a full canopy built leaf by leaf from real Bodhi skeleton leaves in shimmering gold, set on a deep fabric background. It is the most time-consuming design our artisans make — and a natural centerpiece for meditation rooms, yoga studios and home altars.

How it’s made
Each leaf is processed entirely by hand until only its natural, lace-like vein skeleton remains. Artisans in Vietnam then sort the leaves, color them, and arrange them one by one on a fabric background. Because every leaf has its own shape and size, no two pieces are exactly alike — small variations are part of the charm.
Why the Bodhi leaf?
The Bodhi tree (Ficus religiosa) is the tree under which the Buddha is said to have found enlightenment. Its heart-shaped leaf has become a quiet, widely recognized symbol of peace, awakening and new beginnings — meaningful for Buddhists, and simply calming for everyone else.
