Description

18-Inch Golden Sakya Mahakala | Museum-Quality Copper Sculpture 

Embodied as the supreme protector of the Sakya lineage, this Sakya Mahakala statue represents a true expression of Newari sacred art and the living tradition of Himalayan craftsmanship. Created in the Kathmandu Valley, it reflects generations of master artisans devoted to preserving the Dharma through metal and fire.

Hand-cast in copper using the ancient lost-wax technique, the statue is fully enriched with radiant 24K gold fire-gilding and a finely gold-painted face, further enhanced with carefully set semi-precious stones. This sacred dharmapala is depicted in his powerful two-armed form, holding the kartrika and kapala, symbolizing the destruction of ignorance and the protection of Dharma and lineage.

An elaborately detailed halo encircles the deity, adorned with miniature deities and animals and crowned with a powerful Garuda, amplifying the divine presence and protective energy of this sacred artwork. The deity’s three wide eyes, bared fangs, and crown of five skulls embody awakened wrathful compassion and enlightened protection. Every ornament, from the serpent garland to the jeweled diadem, is crafted with precision and reverence, worthy of a temple-commissioned sacred artwork.

A true expression of Himalayan sacred artistry, this Nidhiratna masterpiece reflects subtle variations in gilding tone and stone placement, which are the hallmark of authentic Newari craftsmanship, distinguishing a genuine sacred object from a reproduction.

Please note: The statue in the photograph is the actual piece for sale, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity.

Shakya Mahakala

Shakya Mahakala, the fierce guardian deity of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, is revered as a powerful protector of the Dharma and an obstacle remover. Depicted as a dark, wrathful figure, he holds a flaying knife and a skull cup, symbolizing the transformation of negative forces and the triumph over ego and ignorance. As a central figure in the Sakya tradition, Shakya Mahakala is honored through rituals, visualizations, and mantras to clear hindrances and ensure the success of spiritual endeavors.

This wrathful deity embodies both the fierce and compassionate aspects of Buddhist practice, serving as a profound source of inspiration and support for devotees.
