The Wrathful Wisdom Deity Yamantaka | Vajrayana Buddhist Sculpture
Wrathful Wisdom Deity Yamantaka stands 14.2 inches (36cm) tall with a base measuring 10 inches (25.5cm), and weighs 5.43kg, offering a graceful presence. Made from a copper body, it is adorned with 24K gold gilding that gives it a radiant and sacred glow. The detailed acrylic paintings further enhance the intricate features and traditional motifs, reflecting the refined skill of Himalayan artisans.
The Golden Vajrabhairava statue captures the fierce essence of Manjushri in his wrathful form, featuring a bold buffalo head that radiates strength and fierce compassion. With multiple faces, arms, and legs, each detail carries profound symbolism. Surrounding his main face are eight additional heads, all topped by a five-skull crown that transforms the five poisons—ignorance, attachment, aversion, pride, and jealousy—into five enlightened wisdoms. His sixteen arms wield ritual tools like a vajra axe, a triple-skull staff, an arrow, a damaru drum, and a phurba dagger, each symbolizing spiritual power, protection, and the shattering of illusions. At the base, defeated Mara spirits lie beneath Vajrabhairava’s commanding stance, illustrating the triumph of transcendent wisdom over ignorance. This exquisite statue tells the story of a mighty protector who clears the path to enlightenment with unstoppable force.
