Versatile monks used their imagination and dexterous hands to color the butter paid by believers with natural dyes and made colorful butter sculptures. Butter sculptures, which usually show flowers and other themes, are enshrined in front of Buddha statues and are exquisite works of art in temples.
Butter sculpture is one of the "three wonders of art" in Ta 'er Temple. At first glance, it looks like a face magnified countless times, so it is called "flower". In fact, it is a variety of exquisite works of art such as Buddha statues, figures, landscapes, pavilions, birds and animals, flowers and trees made of ghee. Watch carefully, its exquisite craftsmanship, vivid image and gorgeous colors are amazing. People and beasts as big as one or two meters, as small as a dozen or twenty millimeters, are lifelike, full of flowers, decorated with gold powder and silver, and magnificent.
Butter sculptures must be made in cold winter. Because the melting point of ghee is very low, 15 degree will deform and melt at about 25 degree. In order to prevent the influence of finger temperature on butter sculpture, devout monks should soak their hands in biting ice water before kneading, and then work. Once your hands get warm, be sure to soak them again. Due to the influence of temperature, the prepared butter sculpture will be rebuilt every one or two years.
