Buddhist Purification Deity Vajrasattva stands 15.6”/39.5cm tall with a base width of 12.6”/32cm, and weighs 5.89 kg. Made from a copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, adorned with hand-carved 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.
Vajrasattva, also known as Dorje Sempa, sits serenely atop a lotus and a moon disc, embodying purity and profound spiritual insight. In his right hand, he wields a vajra, symbolizing unshakable wisdom, while his left holds a bell, a reminder of emptiness (śūnyatā). Crowning his head is another vajra, highlighting his enlightened mind. Dressed in royal jewels and a five-pointed crown representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas, his calm face radiates compassion and clarity. This statue tells the story of his influential role in Vajrayana Buddhism as the one who cleanses negative karma and mental barriers.
