Unidentified artist - Kshitigarbha - first half of the 14th century v3 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This design reproduces a fourteenth-century Goryeo hanging scroll of Kshitigarbha, the Bodhisattva of the Earth Matrix, standing alone against a dark ground with his golden halo and attributes held close to the body.

Visual Elements & Composition

The figure fills the vertical format of the scroll, with a circular halo rising behind the head and the composition built on a dark brown ground. Deep green-grey and antique gold carry the most weight, while the pale rose of the skin and the crimson accents hold the eye at the centre. A crystal orb rests in the right hand and a tall staff rises in the left, and the jewelled necklace and armlets catch the gold tones. The painting is rendered in mineral colours on silk, so the surface reads as layered and quiet rather than flat.

Meaning & Symbolism

Kshitigarbha, known in Korean as Jijang Bosal, is traditionally shown as a monk rather than in the ornate vestments of other bodhisattvas. He is revered for a vow to delay his own enlightenment until every soul has been freed from the hell realms, which made him a central protector of the deceased and a source of mercy in the afterlife. The wish-granting jewel and the monk's staff stand for his power to light the underworld and guide beings toward liberation. The work comes from the Goryeo dynasty, when the state and aristocracy commissioned sophisticated religious icons, and it is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its maker is unidentified, but the gold application and silk craftsmanship place it firmly within fourteenth-century court style.

Why It Works on a Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its artwork, so the halo, staff and orb define the shape that meets the surface. The figure is seen up close, as a single image lifted from its scroll and set on a laptop, journal or notebook where it can be read at arm's length. Collectors of Buddhist art and fans of Korean heritage will recognise the iconography at once, and the compact format keeps the gold and rose tones intact.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
