This Oxidized Prajnaparamita Statue stands at 17.5”/44.5cm in height and 11.2”/28.5cm at the base, with a weight of 12.87 kg. Made from an oxidized copper body with gold and acrylic paintings, this piece reflects a balanced aesthetic that highlights its serene presence.

In her iconography, Prajnaparamita is depicted seated gracefully upon a beautifully adorned throne, richly detailed with makara carvings—mythical sea creatures symbolizing protection and the transcendence of opposing forces. Her expression is one of serene transcendence, radiating profound inner wisdom (prajñā). She performs the Dharmachakra Mudra with both principal hands, a gesture symbolizing the turning of the wheel of Dharma. In her upper right hand, she holds a rosary (mālā), representing the continuity of meditative practice, while her upper left hand bears an utpala (blue lotus), symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. She is seated in vajrāsana, the adamantine posture, reflecting unshakable meditation and stability on the path to enlightenment.

Prajnaparamita is the goddess embodiment of transcendent wisdom (prajñāpāramitā), revered in Mahayana Buddhism as the personification of the perfection of wisdom—the profound insight into the nature of reality, especially the concept of emptiness (śūnyatā). She is not only a deity but also represents the sacred Buddhist texts known as the Prajnaparamita Sutras, which include teachings attributed to the historical Buddha on ultimate wisdom. In essence, Prajnaparamita is both a divine mother of all Buddhas and the living nature of liberating insight, guiding beings beyond illusion and conceptual grasping toward enlightenment.
