This piece is meticulously crafted using the millennia-old art of shadow puppetry. Made from premium ox hide, it is entirely hand-carved and painted by a non-hereditary artisan, portraying the solemn divine presence of Amitabha Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhishtva. The knife work is exquisite, the coloring is classically elegant, and it appears brilliantly luminous when backlit.

* Pure handmade openwork carving, results in flowing robes and compassionate expressions.
* Rendered with natural pigments, the colors are rich and饱满 (bǎomǎn - full/vibrant) and remain unchanged over time.
* It融合 (rónghé - blends/fuses) Buddhist art with the dynamic beauty of shadow puppetry.

Ideal for consecration and prayers to purify the spirit; for collection, appreciation, and perpetuating intangible cultural heritage; or for dynamic shadow play performances to promote cultural heritage. This work is not only a craft treasure but also a凝结 (níngjié - condensation/embodiment) of faith and art. In the interplay of light and shadow, it resonates with the soul, transmitting millennia of wisdom and devotion.
