Lhasa is in a festive mood for the Spring Festival and the Tibetan New Year (Losar). Butter flower sculptures, a staple of Tibetan New Year's decorations, are becoming increasingly popular in markets.
The sculptures are made from brightly colored ghee. The artisans knead it repeatedly in cold water to shape and cool it, then carefully use wooden knives to carve the sun, moon, stars, leaves, stems, and animal figures. These pieces are then assembled and glued to a shield-shaped wooden base, creating lifelike works of art.
These artfully crafted flowers carry good wishes for the New Year.
