Mosaic wall adornment, 'Mandala Friend'

Solange and Lena Fonseca find in the classic Buddhist mandala the perfect venue for honoring a friend, as well as their country. "We named this mandala after our friend, Puke, " confide the designers. "This colorful mandala is designed to transmit Brazil's cheerful spirit." A mandala is an imaginary palace designed to be contemplated during meditation. Solange and Lena Fonseca craft this mandala with hand-painted mosaics on a cedar wood veneer. Adorned with rami and coconut branches, the mandala exudes colorful spiritualism.
