ReplyDeleteWas trying to figure how the chopsticks are held...are they placed through the center horizontally?
Oh, the Buddha globe is a thrill. I just finished reading 'Stealing Buddha's Dinner' by Bich Minh Nguyen. A great book that introduced me not only to some of the traditional Vietnamese concepts of Buddha such as placing gifts of fruit at Buddha's altar in the home but also to the voice of an immigrant's childhood in America.
I think this Buddha globe shows the snows of knowledge that Buddha has fall so deftly in Bich Minh Nguyen's writing.
Best to you. In your bargains I have found many meaningful treasures.

i've been searching our databases for this book Jean and i can't find it anywhere. i'll try ebay next.
Deletehi Jean, they are chopstick rests. you just rest the chopsticks on them so they are not on the table/cloth. my bad. i should have explained them better. i will def. check out the book. we may have it at work. thank you for your lovely saying. i haven't heard that before. i'm smiling :)
