Tibetan Gilded Copper Figure of the Tantric Buddha Vajrasattva
Vajrasattva, known as the "Diamond Thunderbolt," is a revered tantric Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying purity, transformation, and spiritual awakening. Practitioners worship Vajrasattva to purify negative karma, remove obstacles, and cultivate inner clarity on the path to enlightenment. This finely crafted statue depicts Vajrasattva seated in the Vajrayana, or full lotus position, symbolizing unwavering meditation and focus. His serene expression, with downcast eyes and a gentle smile, reflects his enlightened state. Vajrasattva deity is richly adorned with intricate jewelry, including a five-pointed crown, earrings, necklaces, and armlets, studded with semi-precious green and red stones, symbolizing his divine qualities and spiritual wealth. His right hand, which originally held a vajra at heart level, signifies indestructible truth and compassion, while his left-hand rests on his foot holding a bell (ghanta), representing wisdom and the union of method and insight. Vajrasattva’s robe (dhoti), beautifully detailed with fine scrolling patterns, drapes elegantly over his legs, symbolizing the perfection of his teachings. The hollow lotus throne beneath him, traditionally filled with relics and sealed with a copper plate inscribed with a visvajra (double vajra), signifies his foundational role in Tibetan Buddhist practices. Our gilded copper masterpiece is a testament to the rich craftsmanship of Nepalese artisans, serving as a sacred object for devotion and meditation.
