The lotus resembles purity and numerous progeny. Many believe that its roots are of a jade like whiteness and the glistening drops of water resting on its spread leaves are symbolic of Buddhist enlightenment. The workmanship and control of the medium exhibits by the present lot resembles the fluidity one would find on a painting while the juxtaposition of the layers of colors are reflective of dimensions.
