A round catch-all tray hammered from recycled copper, its surface stamped edge to edge with a floral mandala of dots, rays, and rosettes. The circular pattern is an old symbol of wholeness and return to center. Set it by the door for keys, on a nightstand for rings, or on a coffee table as a small accent.

Origin: Made by Fairtrade certified metal artisans in India

Meaning & Intention

The mandala is one of the oldest visual languages of wholeness, a circular form found from Tibetan sand paintings to Indian rangoli, representing the universe, the self, and the cycle of life.

Here that form is stamped in radiating dots and petals, each ring drawing the eye inward toward a still, unmarked center.

Because the piece is made from upcycled copper, the mandala takes on a second layer of meaning: transformation. Metal that might have been discarded is hammered and given new purpose.

Copper itself has long been associated with warmth and grounding energy in Indian tradition, often kept in the home as a vessel for daily ritual.

Placed by the door or on an altar, it offers a small return to center at the start and end of the day.

Questions & Guidance

Can I use it to serve food?

Not for direct contact with food. For dried snacks or treats, add a liner such as a napkin or small dish between the food and the copper surface.

What can I set on it?

It works well for keys, rings, small jewelry, a candle, or a crystal. Many people also use it as an offering tray on an altar.

Will the copper change over time?

Yes. Copper develops a natural patina with age and handling. This is part of its character and deepens the warmth of the finish.

Is it truly Fairtrade?

Yes. It is made by Fairtrade certified metal artisans in India who hammer and stamp reclaimed scraps into the mandala design by hand.

Another piece from Buddha Groove I love!! I’ve been looking for a special copper tray for some of my crystals and (as always happens), stumbled across this beautiful Mandala recycled tray! I am continually in awe of the synchronicities that occur! I also love that it is fairtrade, which makes me respect the priorities Buddha Grove has!! I wish there was a way I could share a pic so you can see that it is even more gorgeous than the photos on the site!! Highly recommended!!!
