Available in different sizes and widths of pipe depending on what materials I have to hand.
Please note that due to the recycled nature of this metal, no two pieces will contain the same characteristics, which will make each and every item truly unique.
If you have a size requirement, that isn't listed, please feel free to message me to arrange a custom order to suit.
The origins of the Om symbol-
"Auṃ or Oṃ, is a sacred sound and a spiritual icon in Hindu religion. It is also a mantra in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism.
Om is part of the iconography found in ancient and medieval era manuscripts, temples, monasteries and spiritual retreats in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.The symbol has a spiritual meaning in all Indian dharmas, but the meaning and connotations of Om vary between the traditions.
In Hinduism, Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols (pratima). It refers to Atman (soul, self within) and Brahman (ultimate reality, entirety of the universe, truth, divine, supreme spirit, cosmic principles, knowledge). The syllable is often found at the beginning and the end of chapters in the Vedas, the Upanishads, and other Hindu texts. It is a sacred spiritual incantation made before and during the recitation of spiritual texts, during puja and private prayers, in ceremonies of rites of passages (sanskara) such as weddings, and sometimes during meditative and spiritual activities such as Yoga"
The syllable is also referred to as omkara (ओंकार, oṃkāra), aumkara (औंकार, auṃkāra), and pranava (प्रणव, praṇava)
As with all copper items, some discoloration of the skin may occur.
