This image is one of many photographs taken of temple art while visiting Thailand. I experienced the greatest sense of reverence while wandering through an informal garden filled with weathered terra cotta replicas of Southeast Asian art. Upon returning home, these faces of the sacred quickly found their way into my own art.

I have recreated them as archival prints in sepia tones which have been varnished onto pieces of hammered and hand-patinaed copper. They're perfect for contemplative use in a personal altar or as a decorative accent in the home.

Icons hang from a copper chain and may be ordered with a copper stand. The Pocket Altar is a miniature altar that is ideal for travel and perfect for intimate places of devotion at home or at work. The pocket-sized box transforms into a tiny triptych. Included with the altar is the Loving Kindness prayer, an offering of dried baby rose buds, an altar cloth, incense with copper incense holders and a Pocket Icon.
