Wrathful Mahakala Bernagchen Statue | Lost Wax Copper Sculpture from Nepal

Crafted in Nepal using the traditional lost wax copper technique, this Mahakala Bernagchen statue features hand-painted detailing and gold-gilded ornaments. The deity is portrayed in his wrathful form with a deep blue complexion, three fierce eyes and an open snarling mouth. He stands dynamically atop a lotus seat, trampling a human figure representing ego and ignorance, while holding a kartika knife in his raised right hand and a kapala skull cup in his left. His five-skull crown, flowing cloak, and Mundamala garland are all carefully rendered, with a decorative flaming aureole rising behind him.

This statue is a well-crafted representation of Bernagchen — the "Great Black Cloak" — one of the principal protector deities in the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is a fitting addition to a home altar or a personal collection of Himalayan Buddhist art.
