Lokeshwor Sculpture for Altar - A Radiant Embodiment of Universal Compassion
This Lokeshwor Sculpture for Altar measures 18.3”/46.5cm in height with a 5.5”/14cm base and weighs 2.91 kg. The sculpture is crafted with a copper body that forms the detailed structure of the figure, garments, ornaments, and pedestal. It is finished with 24K gold gilding across the main surface, highlighting the finely modeled details and giving the sculpture its rich golden appearance. Acrylic painting is applied to selected areas such as the hair, facial features, and ornamental details, while gemstones are carefully set into the crown, jewelry, and decorative elements to add subtle color and refinement to the gilded surface.
Lokeshwor, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, is represented in a peaceful bodhisattva form, adorned with a jeweled crown, earrings, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and flowing celestial garments. His serene facial expression and graceful posture convey compassion and calm awareness. The elaborate ornaments distinguish his bodhisattva form from a Buddha, while the lotus symbolism associated with Lokeshwor represents purity and compassion arising above worldly suffering. The carefully detailed crown, jewelry, drapery, and lotus elements complete the traditional Himalayan representation of Lokeshwor as a compassionate presence and object of devotion.
