Bring home the Recycled Metal Omnamo Mantra Bowl, a unique piece that embodies both artistry and spirituality. Handmade by skilled artisans using recycled bicycle spokes, this mantra bowl is not only a beautiful decorative item but also a symbol of sustainable living and fair trade practices. Each bowl is crafted with care in Khalil Ahmed's workshop, which is part of the Noah's Ark initiative, an NGO dedicated to supporting artisans in India.
The Recycled Metal Omnamo Mantra Bowl stands at 2-1/2 inches high with an 11-inch diameter, making it a perfect centerpiece for your meditation space or home decor. The bowl's design reflects the intricate craftsmanship of Indian artisans, who have honed their skills over generations. By choosing this bowl, you are not only acquiring a beautiful piece but also supporting the livelihoods of artisans who are paid fair wages for their work.
Noah's Ark was founded in 1986 by Samuel Masih, who recognized the need for fair treatment of artisans in the metalworking industry. The organization ensures that all artisans work in safe and clean conditions, receiving 10-15% above the local wage rate. This commitment to fair trade has led to the establishment of numerous workshops across India, providing artisans with the resources they need to thrive.
The Omnamo mantra bowl is not just a decorative item; it serves as a tool for meditation and mindfulness. The sound produced when striking the bowl can help create a calming atmosphere, making it an ideal companion for yoga and meditation practices. Incorporating this bowl into your spiritual routine can enhance your connection to mindfulness and inner peace.
By purchasing the Recycled Metal Omnamo Mantra Bowl, you are contributing to a larger movement that supports artisan welfare and community development. Noah's Ark not only focuses on fair wages but also invests in education and water sanitation projects for the artisans' families. This holistic approach ensures that the benefits of fair trade extend beyond the workshop, positively impacting the entire community.
