Tibetan Prayer Flags are coloured cloths that are used by Buddhists in the Himalayas. Horizontally strung throughout the region, the breeze is said to blow the prayers from the flag into the heavens. The five different colours each symbolise a different element: Blue for sky, white for air, red for fire, green for water and yellow for earth.

The prayers on this flag are for the long life and good fortune for the person who hangs them.

These prayer flags would be appreciated by those interested in Buddhist culture or unusual decorative items. When displayed, the flags measure an impressive 175cm (69") in diameter. Each individual prayer flag measures 16cm (6.5") in width by 20cm (8") in length.
