We are the Kathmandu valley artist who has finely handmade Vajrasattva Gold Sculpture in the classic Himalayan Art style. In the statue, we have depicted the deity seated on the top of a moon disc lotus seat, having a serene facial expression. He is holding a vajra with his right hand and a bell in his left. We have molded the body using copper and glided using 24K pure gold. The crown and other body ornaments are adorned with precious gemstones. The gold glided surface with an antique touch and is further highlighted with acrylic paintings. This makes the figurine look stunning. We assure you that the materials used for the statue are of the highest quality and will last for years.
This will be a perfect gift from Nepal to a devotee like you.

Vajrasattva is the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, based on Amoghavajra's testimony. As recounted in the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasatva inducted Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ceremony and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had gained from Vairocana Buddha. Kukai doesn't go into detail on Vajrasatva or his beginnings.
