Golden Handmade Buddhist Master Longchenpa Art | Tibetan Sage
The Handmade Buddhist Master Longchenpa Art measures 11.2 inches (28.5 cm) in height and 7.1 inches (18 cm) across the base, with a weight of 2.83 kilograms. It is made of copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved details that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, adorned with gemstones, handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Iconographically, Longchenpa is depicted wearing a traditional Nyingma hat, symbolizing his lineage and spiritual authority. Both hands perform the bhumisparsha mudra, representing the moment of calling the earth to witness enlightenment. He holds lotus flowers in each hand: the right lotus bears a sword and a blossomed utpala flower, symbolizing the cutting of ignorance and purity; the left lotus carries the Prajnaparamita Sutra (Sacred Scripture) and another blossomed utpala, representing wisdom and spiritual knowledge. These elements collectively embody Longchenpa’s profound insight and compassionate teachings.
