He stands firmly on a lotus seat, holding a vajra in one hand and a lasso in the other, while swirling garments and a serpent coiled around his body add to his wrathful presence. A skull crown with layered patterns connects to ornate earrings that frame his piercing eyes and vicious expression. Red eyebrows, mustache and beard contrast with the gold-painted face, where a third eye symbolizes awakened awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated by master artisans of Kathmandu Valley, this Buddhist sculpture is first hand-carved in wax, then cast in solid copper through lost-wax process. The figure is layered with 24K gold fire-gilding. Meticulous repoussé and hand-chasing give the garments a lifelike drape. Turquoise and coral inlay adds vivid color against the gilded surface, reflecting the refined heritage of Newar sacred art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note: The statue in the photograph is the actual piece for sale, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(204, 154, 65);\"\u003eKey Features of Protector Vajrapani Statue:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Nepal using the Lost Wax Method\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from Durable Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted using traditional Fire-gilding with gold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24K Gold Painted Face\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdorned with Semi-precious Stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautifully decorated using Acrylic Colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally Handcrafted by Newari Master Artists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight X Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 56cm X 53cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9.52kg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(204, 154, 65);\"\u003eAbout Vajrapani\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVajrapani, whose name means “Holder of the Thunderbolt,” is one of the earliest and most powerful bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism.
