AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful, detailed Nepalese copper Vajrasattva statue with blue accents. It is in good condition apart from the fact that the copper base plate has separated from the statue, which should be easily fixable. Further, the statue has some tiny, cleanable oxidation spots. Take a close look at the photo's for a good impression.
The statue is 23 cm in height and weighs 1.3 kg
Vajrasattva, the sixth Dhyani Buddha, is regarded by Nepali Buddhists as the priest of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. He is not represented in the stupa like other Dhyani Buddhas but independent shrines are dedicated to his worship. This Dhyani Buddha wears all ornaments, rich dress, a crown (mukut) and is sealed with a crossed-vajra. He sits on a single lotus base, crossed legged in the meditative pose like other Dhyani Buddhas. He carries the vajra in his right hand with palm upwards against the chest and a ghanta (bell) in the left hand resting upon the left thigh.
Vajrasattva, is the Bodhisattva of purification and represents the purity of awareness or ultimate reality. He is also called the primordial Buddha of all Mandalas.
