Measuring 13.78 inches (35 cm) tall and 11.81 inches (30 cm) wide at the base, the Namtoshe Sculpture stands as a striking tribute to the Guardian of the North. Crafted from copper and richly adorned with 24K gold gilding alongside intricate gold and acrylic paintings, this statue brings to life the powerful Vaisravana. Known as the northern protector king in Buddhist lore, Namtoshe is depicted armored, astride a snow lion, clutching a jewel-spewing mongoose and a victory banner or stupa—symbols of his authority, protection of the Dharma, and generosity. This exquisite piece beautifully blends masterful artistry with profound spiritual meaning, honoring the guardian’s role as both protector and provider of wealth.
Namtoshe, the Buddhist god of wealth, is shown with a golden-yellow skin tone representing abundance and positive energy. Calmly seated on a lotus disc and riding a lion, he symbolizes strength and royal power. He holds a jewel-spitting mongoose in his left hand, which stands for overcoming greed and granting material and spiritual riches. His right hand carries a victory banner, marking him a powerful protector. A radiant golden halo surrounds him, highlighting his wealth and authority. Wearing a five-pointed crown representing the Five Transcendental Buddhas, his expression and posture convey strength and command. With three sharp eyes, he sees all worlds, embodying prosperity and the wisdom to use wealth for the benefit of all beings.
