The repetition of eye forms represents the Iranian and Central Asian tradition of protective cheshm nazar eye amulets, while also reflecting the Buddhist emphasis on awareness and perception. Both traditions embody a protective quality: one offers external protection through the use of an amulet, and the other provides internal protection through the cultivation of proper perception.
