Palden Lhamo Statue – Gold Fire-Gilded Copper Sculpture from Nepal

Handcrafted by master Newari artisans, this striking Palden Lhamo statue stands 15 inches tall and weighs 5.04 kg, presenting the supreme wrathful female protector of Dharma in all her fierce splendor. Crafted from copper and finished with layers of luminous 24K gold fire-gilding, Shri Devi rides her golden mule across a rugged, embossed mountain base adorned with sacred animals. Her wrathful, three-eyed face with bared fangs is framed by a hand-carved halo. Adorned with intricate turquoise and semi-precious stone jewelry, she wields her traditional attributes, symbolizing her ultimate power to subdue negative forces and protect the sacred teachings.

The sculpture begins with the lost-wax casting process, patiently refined through meticulous three-dimensional carving and chiseling to smooth every divine curve. Delicate repoussé work brings the mule’s ornate, jewel-encrusted saddle and the mountainous base to life showcases the refined heritage of Kathmandu Valley metalwork. Perfectly proportioned for a home altar or dedicated meditation space, this piece is a genuine masterwork of devotional art. Invite the fierce blessings of the supreme female Dharma protector into your life.

About Palden Lhamo

Palden Lhamo, the fierce protector goddess of Tibetan Buddhism, is often depicted riding a mule across a sea of blood, her dark, wrathful form adorned with flaming hair and wielding a skull cup, club, and a bag of diseases, symbolizing her power to destroy obstacles and safeguard the Dharma. She is accompanied by a retinue of attendant dakinis, including Makaravaktra (Makara-Faced Dakini) and Simhavaktra (Lion-Faced Dakini), who embody the transformative energy of enlightened wrath. Makaravaktra, with her monstrous sea-creature visage, cuts through karmic blockages, while Simhavaktra, roaring with a lion’s ferocity annihilates psychic disturbances. Together, these dakinis assist Palden Lhamo in subduing negativity, protecting practitioners, and ensuring the swift removal of obstacles on the path to enlightenment.
