The Wind Horse, or windhorse, or Lung-Ta, is a mythical Tibetan creature (predating even Buddhism) that carries prayers from earth to heaven. A Tibetan prayer flag is now commonly called lung-ta too. I thought the windhorse drawing commonly found on some prayer flags would make a delicious little ACEO. (This was also drawn freehand in ink. Which explains, but does not excuse, the slight wonkiness of the horse!)
