Handmade Vajrakilaya Copper Statue | Wrathful Transformation Deity
This Handmade Vajrakilaya Copper Statue stands at 9.1”/23cm in height and 7.5”/19cm at the base, weighing 2.36 kg. Expertly made from 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 gemstones and handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Vajrakilaya is depicted in a fierce and wrathful form, embodying the power to remove obstacles and destroy inner and outer negativities. He wears a five-skull crown, symbolizing the transformation of the five poisons—ignorance, attachment, aversion, pride, and jealousy—into the five wisdoms. Atop his head rests a vajra, representing indestructible awareness and the unshakable nature of enlightened mind.
In his main pair of hands, he holds Vajra Vetali while brandishing a phurba (ritual dagger)—the primary emblem of Vajrakilaya, signifying the cutting through of delusion and ego. His other hands hold various ritual weapons, each symbolizing the subjugation of obstructive forces and the protection of dharma.
A radiant halo surrounds his wrathful form, expressing his boundless spiritual energy and enlightened power. Vajrakilaya is shown stepping upon subdued beings, symbolizing the triumph over ignorance and negativity, and stands upon a sun-disc lotus base, representing the blazing energy of wisdom resting upon the purity of compassion.
