Mandala or Magic Cube -- The three dimensional wire-sphere was developed some 2,000 years ago as a means of creating symbolic shapes to aid in consentation during Buddhist meditation. The flexible wire balls are also known as Mandalas. -- Early Mandalas were made of gold wire and decorated with precious stones. Symbolic shapes which can be created include the Universe, the Opposites (Yin and Yang), the Hourglass, the Wheel, the Void, the Egg, the Sun, the Sky, and the Earth. -- As you bend and manipulate the Flexi-Sphere through the limitless changes of shapes which are possible, you will see your own symbol appear! The Flexi-Sphere makes a great toy and a great conversation piece - you will not be able to keep your hands off it! -- Dimensions: 7 1/2" W (when flattened). -- For ages 8+ |
