27.5CM Antique Ming Wanli Chinese Porcelain Flower Kraak Dish Buddhist Cakras
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
Large late Ming dynasty Wanli period blue and white kraak ware export porcelain deep charger. The centre medaillon is unusually painted with 5 cakras around a flaming scroll forming a five-patelled motif resembling a large flaming wheel. This Buddhist motif may have a central Asian origin. The underside is divided into panels. See Rinaldi, page 95 for a similar dish. CAKRAS . Literally meaning a circle, wheel, or discus, the Sanskrit term cakra plays a key role in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions, particularly in their more esoteric Tantric forms. The term has several uses in various forms of yogic and Tantric practice.

Cakras may also refer to circular diagrams used in meditation and the worship of such specific deities as the famous Śri Cakras or Śri Yantra...
