Tiny hand block printed Tibetan Windhorse prayer flags sold in a set of five. Each strand has 10, 3″ flags. Windhorse prayer flags are traditionally hung by Tibetans in high places to catch the wind so that the prayer will be carried out to bless all sentient beings. The prayer is intended to bring blessings and good fortune to the world and translates as:

“May the rainfall at the proper time. May the crops and livestock be bountiful. May there be freedom from illness, famine and war. May all beings be well and happy”.
