Our Tibetan Compassion prayer flags make the perfect gift for someone you care about or to bring peace and a calming presence to your home.

These beautiful woodblock print traditional Tibetan prayer flags are Fair Trade guaranteed and handcrafted in Kathmandu. They are used to bring blessings of compassion and the five colours follow traditional Chinese colour theory representing the five elements.

• Padme - lotus.
• Hum - spirit of enlightenment.

The five colours of the flags represent one of the natural elements: water, fire, wood, metal and earth.

• Hand block printed in Kathmandu.
• Made without child labour or slavery.
• Made from a durable and weather-resistant cotton-poly blend.
