The Tantric Protector Vajrapani | Gold Gilded Tibetan Statue of Power and Courage
Tantric Protector Vajrapani stands 9.8 inches (25 cm) tall with an 8.3-inch (21 cm) wide base and weighs 2.27 kilograms. Made from copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
With bulging eyes, fierce fangs, and fiery eyebrows, Vajrapani embodies unstoppable determination to vanquish ignorance and shield spiritual seekers. His golden body reflects his vajra essence, unbreakable and transforming anger into wisdom. Adorned with bone ornaments and skull garlands, he reminds us of impermanence and mastery over ego and fear. In his right hand, he wields a vajra, the symbol of spiritual power that destroys ignorance, while his left hand holds a lasso to capture harmful forces. Standing like a warrior, one leg forward and the other back, he’s ever ready to defend the Dharma. A blazing halo surrounds him, signifying purification through wisdom. His Bhutadamara Mudra, with crossed wrists and linked little fingers resembling Garuda’s wings, forms a protective chain to tame unruly spirits and banish negativity.
