Sculpture of Mantra Deity Vajrasattva | 24k Gold Gilded Statue
Mantra Deity Vajrasattva Sculpture measures 8.9” (22.5cm) in height and 6.3” (16cm) at the base, weighing 1.29 kg. Crafted with a copper body, it is beautifully adorned with 24K gold gilding, detailed gold and acrylic paintings, and embellished with gemstones, making it a stunning piece of Tibetan Buddhist art.
Vajrasattva is depicted with a calm and compassionate expression, embodying his sacred role as the purifier of negative karma and mental obscurations. He is seated in padmasana (full lotus position) atop a lotus throne, symbolizing spiritual purity, balance, and enlightenment. In his right hand, he holds a vajra—representing indestructible wisdom (vajra-jñāna, the unshakable insight into the true nature of reality)—and in his left, a bell, symbolizing the ultimate truth of emptiness (śūnyatā, the absence of inherent, independent existence in all phenomena). These sacred implements express the profound union of method (upāya) and wisdom (prajñā), the inseparable principles that lead to enlightenment. Adorned in celestial robes and divine ornaments, Vajrasattva radiates clarity, inner transformation, and the serene power of awakened presence.

In Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrasattva is a highly revered figure representing purity and the purification of negativity. Usually depicted wearing white, he holds a bell and a vajra, or thunderbolt, symbolizing the union of compassion and wisdom. To rid themselves of problems and bad karma, devotees engage in purifying exercises, including chanting mantras and performing rituals. The mantra "Om Vajrasattva Hum" is essential in these practices, as it is believed to cleanse the mind and spirit. The understanding of one's inherent purity and enlightened nature can be attained through inner transformation facilitated by meditating on Vajrasattva.
