This is an absolutely gorgeous and finely crafted Tibetan Lung Ta Wind Horse with Cintamani Jewel embellished with ornate trappings and jewels which add a touch of opulence to this stunning figurine. Depicted in elegant mid-trot on an oval base, it has connotations of victory，nobility and success, this magnificent animal is synonymous with strength, speed and vitality, whilst the wish fulfilling jewels on its back symbolize wealth and treasures.
Having its origin in the old Tibetan Buddhism, Windhorse has several meanings in the Tibetan context. On the outer level, the Windhorse is a mythical creature that combines the speed of the wind and the strength of the horse to carry prayers from earth to the heavens. This gives rise to the Tibetan prayer flag being known as the Lung Ta, which is Windhorse in Tibetan. Lung Ta is also associated with positive energy or life force and good luck. It is both the subjugator of evil and the vehicle of enlightenment.
The Cintamani (flaming or wish granting jewel) on the back of the Wind Horse which symbolizes wealth and unfolding power & possibility, is a miraculous treasure which can grant the fulfillment of wishes and is often seen in the hand of Ksitigarbha and Avalokitesvara. Besides being symbols of prosperity, the jewels represent wisdom whilst the flames of the Cintamani represent the burning away of false desires and ignorance, giving way to enlightenment.
