Handmade Himalayan Guru Tsokye Dorje Sculpture | Copper Figure
This Himalayan Guru Tsokye Dorje Sculpture, also known as Guru Rinpoche, stands at 13”/33cm in height and 8.1”/20.5cm at the base, weighing 2.83 kg. 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, handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Guru Tsokye Dorje is shown wearing his iconic lotus hat, often decorated with five petals that stand for the five wisdoms, sometimes accompanied by a sun and moon symbolizing the harmony of method and wisdom. In his right hand, he grips a vajra, a symbol of unshakable wisdom and the enlightened mind’s strength. His left hand holds a skull cup filled with the nectar of immortality, reflecting his power over death and his skill in turning challenges into wisdom. Leaning on his left shoulder is a katvanga, a tantric staff adorned with three severed heads, representing the transformation of ignorance, desire, and aversion into insight. Seated peacefully on a lotus pedestal—born miraculously from Lake Dhanakosha—his semi-wrathful expression blends compassion with fierce protection, showing his role in guarding practitioners and clearing the spiritual path.
