AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vajrapani is one of the most important bodhisattvas in Tibetan and Mahayana Buddhism and is considered the protector of the Buddha and the embodiment of spiritual power and energy.
Main features:
Vajrapani literally means "he who holds the vajra" - the vajra is a ritual object symbolizing invincible power
He is often depicted in an angry, dynamic posture with the raised vajra.
He usually wears ornaments, a tiger skin, and has a third eye on his forehead
Symbolism and meaning:
Vajrapani represents the power of all Buddhas and protects against negative influences, obstacles, and evil spirits.
The vajra he holds symbolizes both the indestructibility of diamond and the power of a lightning bolt - it represents spiritual power that pierces through ignorance.
Three forms: Vajrapani appears in three main forms - peaceful, semi-wrathful, and fully wrathful - with the wrathful form (with raised vajra and flaming aura) being the most common in Tibetan art.
The statue is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packed and insured shipping.
This item can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay shipping costs once.
