This Himalayan artwork of Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is a stunning representation of traditional craftsmanship.

Padmasambhava is seated on a lotus throne, holding a vajra in his right hand and a skull cup carrying the nectar of wisdom immortality in his left hand. A "khatvanga" (sacred trident) with three severed heads leans on his left shoulder, symbolizing freedom from the three principal causes of misery (kayas). His robes are wonderfully molded with exquisite decorations, and his unique cap is topped with an eagle feather.
