Himalayan Buddhist Statues

The artist community of the Kathmandu Valley is justifiably famous for the metal-working skill and artistry. The level of mastery still distinguishes the finest metal-smiths of the Valley today. The art of making traditional Himalayan Buddhist statues is painstaking, time-consuming, and requires consummate skill from all who contribute. First produced by lost-wax casting, the raw casting is refined and detailed by chasing (hammering a sharp tool into the surface of the statue) to create the details of the crown, hair, fabric designs, jewelry, and all-important facial features of the divine visage.

Even the smooth areas are given a final polish by gently hammering the surface. After the copper body is finished in great detail, the gilders take over and fire-gild the entire surface with an amalgam of mercury and gold. It is then heated to vaporize the mercury, so that the gold permanently stays on the body. Next a burnisher takes over, rubbing the entire piece with an agate tool affixed to the end of a stick. The statue is then ready for the artist, who will complete and embellish it in various colors — in some cases, costly pigments of ground lapis lazuli and gold as needed in the iconography.

Fantastic! Beautiful statue and very considerate seller.

High Quality Statue as described, thanks to Termatree, full hearted

Very beautiful and perfect statue of the Dhyani-Buddha Amogasiddhi representing the wisdom of fulfillment, accomplishment and spiritual success.

I really loved the statue ❤️—it’s even better than I expected. The customer service was amazing too; replies came promptly and you guided me so well through the shipping process.

The statue is very beautiful. The craftsman who crafted it clearly shows the care and heart he put into it. It is a true dharma jewel on the altar. Shipping was quick, considering the recent events in Nepal. It was carefully packed and filled in a wooden box. If you're buying for shipping to the European Union, please note that customs duties on items from outside the EU are as high as 23 percent of the value.

Beautiful and detailed statue. Namo Gurave!

Great communication! There were some imperfections that they noted before shipping. Which I appreciated very much their care. It was delivered quickly and the statue is beautiful. Thank you. I highly recommend doing business with this shop for your dharma needs.

I just received the statue, and she is truly astonishingly beautiful. She matches perfectly with the Saraswati thangka at my place — it almost feels as if she is walking right out of the thangka! The craftsmanship is remarkable, and I am deeply impressed. Nima is fantastic. Always reply my message quickly. I sincerely appreciate your kind help and communication throughout the whole process.

Impeccable, magnificent quality statue and very serious service!

Another fine work of art from Termatree. Carefully packed and rapidly shipped, this Vajrakilaya is a powerful statue that supports my meditation practice and is pleasing to behold. Five stars.

Vajrayogini is stunning. The details are amazing. It's easy to make out her facial expressions, skulls, feet, and the ring of fire around her. You can tell she's handmade. There is a consecration hole in her back.

I'm searching for an invocation so I can add her with Standing Green Tara to my daily practice.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from here again.

Is a Happy Occasion for me when the Lord Mahakala arrived. Thank you
