The flat face of a dried lotus seed head is covered in deep, rounded cavities where the seeds once sat, creating a natural honeycomb pattern. On EX53 that face is painted gold. The raised ridges between the cavities and the crinkled outer rim take a pale, bright gold, while the hollows glow a warmer amber, so the pattern stands out strongly from a distance.
One photograph shows a single pod held up on its thin stick, tilted to display the face; the other shows several gathered into a loose bunch, where the overlapping discs create a rich, textured cluster. Each seed head is a natural botanical, so the outline varies from neatly round to slightly irregular, and the number and size of cavities differ.
Gold lotus pods are a classic choice for festive and luxury styling: Christmas and Diwali arrangements, wedding table centrepieces, gift hampers and hotel lobby vases. They also add a strong graphic shape to mixed dried bouquets with grasses and palm.
Floral Mongers, a dried botanical supplier in India, offers EX53 in bunches for florists, decorators, wholesalers and importers.

Natural variation
Every lotus seed head grows differently, so the outline, the pod size and the pattern of cavities vary naturally. The gold is applied by hand, so the balance between bright gold ridges and amber hollows can differ slightly from pod to pod. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Display indoors and keep dry to protect the painted surface
- Hold by the stick; the rims are brittle and can chip if knocked
- Keep out of strong direct sunlight to preserve the gold
- Remove dust with a soft brush or cool air
