Handmade Sitatapatra Sculpture stands at 20.5”/52cm in height with a base width of 11.8”/30cm, weighing 9.70 kg. Handcrafted from copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect.

In his iconography, the White Parasol Bodhisattva, also known as Dukar, is richly symbolic. He holds a parasol in his right hand, representing protection from harmful influences and defilements, while also holding a mirror, symbolizing self-reflection and clarity of wisdom. He is seated in vajrāsana (the diamond posture), denoting unshakable meditation and stability. His head is adorned with a five-pointed crown, signifying the Five Dhyani Buddhas and their corresponding wisdoms. The figure rests upon a moon disc atop a lotus base—traditional symbols of purity, spiritual awakening, and the enlightened state transcending worldly suffering.
