By Desak Nyoman Parwati, three double-layer face masks boast motifs related to meditation. The contoured trio includes a black mask with a stylized mandala, a yellow mask with a lotus blossom and omkara symbol, and a third mask in olive green with the symbol by itself.

The silk-screen print masks are all washable and reusable, and have loops to fit over the ears. In addition, the straps have an attached extension so they can also be tied comfortably around the head.
