This Vajrasattva 24K Gold Coated Copper Figurine measures 20.4”/52cm in height and 14.0”/35.5cm at the base, weighing 11.09 kg. Handcrafted from a copper body, this substantial Himalayan Buddhist sculpture is richly finished with 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. Vajrasattva is seated in vajra posture upon an elaborately carved double-lotus pedestal, with a serene expression, three-quarter lowered gaze, elongated earlobes, and an ornate five-jeweled crown. His body is richly adorned with earrings, necklaces, bracelets, armlets, and flowing celestial scarves, reflecting the traditional Bodhisattva appearance. Fine hand-carved detailing is visible throughout the crown, facial features, jewelry, garments, lotus petals, and decorative elements. The colorful garments feature intricate painted patterns in blue, red, green, and gold tones, while gemstone accents enrich the crown, ornaments, and sacred details. The radiant 24K gold gilding highlights the depth of the carving and contrasts beautifully with the painted areas, giving this large sculpture a refined and distinguished presence for a Buddhist altar, meditation hall, shrine, Dharma center, monastery, or sacred collection.
This statue features Vajrasattva, the principal deity associated with purification practice in Vajrayana Buddhism. He is traditionally depicted holding a vajra in his right hand near the heart, symbolizing indestructible awakened wisdom and the unchanging nature of enlightened mind. His left hand holds a bell, representing wisdom and the realization of emptiness, while the union of vajra and bell expresses the inseparability of compassionate method and profound wisdom. His peaceful white form represents purity and the transformation of obscurations, while his elaborate crown and Bodhisattva ornaments express his enlightened nature. The vajra posture reflects meditative stability and focused awareness, and the lotus pedestal symbolizes purity and the unfolding of awakened qualities. Vajrasattva is especially associated with the purification of negative actions, obscurations, and habitual patterns through Vajrayana practice, making his iconography closely connected with confession, purification, renewal, and the cultivation of a clear and disciplined mind.
