Mahakala Bernagchen, Wrathful Deity for Compassion, measures 19 cm (7.5 inches) in height and 15 cm (5.9 inches) in width, with a weight of 1.67 kg. Expertly crafted from a copper body, it is gilded with 24K gold and adorned with intricate gold and acrylic paintings. Ideal for personal shrines, meditation spaces, or as a distinguished decorative piece, this artwork beautifully reflects the traditional craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism of the Himalayas.
This wrathful deity stands proudly on a beautifully detailed lotus throne, symbolizing purity and enlightenment, elevated above a base richly decorated with intricate golden patterns that highlight its sacred nature. Wrapped in a radiant halo of stylized flames, the figure bursts with fierce energy and transformative power. Its red face, complete with bulging eyes and bared fangs, fiercely wards off evil, while three all-seeing eyes reveal wisdom that transcends time. Wearing a crown and garlands, it grips a curved knife to cut through ignorance and a skull cup to consume ego, with its golden, ornamented body trampling a fallen figure—perfectly embodying its role as protector and vanquisher of obstacles in Vajrayana Buddhism.
