Gold Gilded Sculpture of Guru Rinpoche for Secret Teachings of Padmasambhava
Our skilled Nepali artisans made this sculpture of Guru Rinpoche for Secret Teachings of Padmasambhava in our studio in Kathmandu, a small, historically rich city in Nepal. The figure was created utilizing a copper body. The entire body was plated with genuine 24K gold after we hand-carved exquisite design patterns into it. And small semi-precious stones were added afterward. He holds a five-pronged vajra in his right hand and a skull cup with a vase of longevity and the nectar of deathless wisdom in the middle in his left hand, resting in the gesture of serenity. On his head, he wears a five-petalled lotus hat.
