The medallion is the mandala’s more formal cousin — where the mandala radiates from a centre in all directions equally, the medallion is a centred decorative motif with a more structured, symmetrical, often heraldic quality. The plum colour palette — deep purple-red — is the most sophisticated in this collection: neither the spiritual purple of the crown chakra nor the fire of red, but the regal colour of velvet and court tradition. Combined with decorative tassels and the bow medallion design, this is the plum medallion beach towel for someone whose beach aesthetic runs toward the refined and feminine rather than the hippie or spiritual.
- Format: Round with tassels — check listing for diameter

What is the difference between a medallion and a mandala design?
A mandala is a sacred geometric pattern originating in Hindu and Buddhist tradition, designed as a meditation focus — it radiates symmetrically from a centre and carries spiritual symbolism. A medallion is a decorative centred motif with roots in European decorative arts, architecture, and heraldry — it is symmetrical and formally beautiful but does not carry the same sacred geometry intention. This plum bow medallion design is more decorative than spiritual, making it the sophisticated alternative for practitioners who appreciate the round format and tassel aesthetic without the spiritual connotation.
