The act of spinning a prayer wheel is believed to generate the same spiritual merit as reciting the mantra aloud thousands of times. It also helps in purifying negative karma. It is a practice that has been used for centuries.
This antique handcrafted Prayer Wheel holds a sacred value: the Prayer Scroll is still inside. It is obvious that this spiritual tool has been used many times; just think of the history and the many hands that prayed with it.
It is crafted from hardwood, brass, and copper and measures about 12" in length. It was purchased at an estate sale of a couple who traveled the world. It is believed to be from 1900-1940.
The little wooden stand is in two pieces and is exquisite. Most prayer wheels have no stand, so this stand will allow you to display this beautiful piece of sacred art in a unique way.
