Bring Hadley's travels to Taiwan and its' many temples into your dining experience with our Butter Lotus Placemats The lotus flower is a representation of the womb of the universe – where all things are born. These flowers are also a symbol for overcoming adversity and retaining purity of spirit through life's challenges, as lotus flowers are most commonly found in swampy, difficult terrain – emerging from the dark, murky water pristine and beautiful. For Buddhists specifically, this flower also represents a connection between the universe's soul and their own. Yet Hindus have special connection with lotus flower symbolism, as well, because in Sanskrit, it's the character for enlightenment. 100% Cotton Twill 2 size options: 16" × 72" and 16" × 90" 18" × 14" (45.72cm x 35.56cm ) fade resistent
