Description
Himalayan Gold Gilded Statuette of Seated Buddha Akshobhya
Our artist from Kathmandu, Nepal, has hand-crafted this beautiful gold-gilded statuette of seated Buddha Akshobhya. He is seen seated in a meditational position while holding a vajra in his left hand and practicing Bhumisparsha mudra by his right with a very pleasing appearance. The vajra scepter of Akshobhya symbolizes him as the figurative Buddha of Tantric Buddhism's Vajra Family. These five classes suggested by the tantric doctrine are used to arrange tantric deities. Carving those intricately designed patterns requires a lot of experience and practice. From the first look, a person will be able to recognize some knowledgeable artist sculpted it.

Akshobhya means "unwavering." He is described in Northern Buddhism's Mahayana Sutras and Tantra literature. In paintings and sculptures, he is easily identified by his buddha-like form, blue body color, and left hand holding an upright vajra scepter. He is a Tantric depiction of Buddha that is commonly adorned with jewels and a crown.
