Statue, Vajra Buddha Statue - 21 cm - Copper

Vajrasattva—the principal deity of repentance in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism.

The deity is seated in full lotus posture upon a double-tiered lotus throne. Adorned with an intricate jeweled crown, he bears a countenance of profound serenity and compassion. His right hand holds a vajra raised to his chest, while his left hand grasps a vajra bell positioned before his abdomen—the standard iconographic form of Vajrasattva. As a central deity in Tibetan Buddhist practice, this piece is ideally suited for veneration in a Buddhist shrine, for use in the ritual settings of Esoteric practice, or for inclusion in a collection of Tibetan Buddhist art.
