This Sacred Sculpture of Prajnaparamita measures 9.25”/23.5cm in height and 7.28”/18.5cm at the base, weighing 1.71 kg. Crafted with a copper body, this traditional Buddhist sculpture is adorned with 24K gold gilding, acrylic painting, and gemstones.

This Prajnaparamita is depicted in her peaceful and majestic form as the embodiment of the Perfection of Wisdom, seated gracefully upon a lotus throne. Her serene expression, gently lowered eyes, and composed posture reflect profound insight, clarity, and the realization of ultimate wisdom. She is richly adorned with an elaborate five-jeweled crown, earrings, layered necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and flowing silk garments, representing her enlightened Bodhisattva form. Her hands are traditionally arranged in a teaching or wisdom gesture, with the sacred Prajnaparamita Sutra held or supported upon a lotus, symbolizing transcendent knowledge and the realization of emptiness. The lotus throne represents purity and spiritual awakening, while her peaceful countenance, sacred scripture, refined ornaments, and graceful posture together express the distinctive iconography of Prajnaparamita as the mother of the Buddhas and embodiment of perfect wisdom.
