The Copper Vajrapani Sculpture with Gemstones | Symbol of Strength
This 12.6" Copper Vajrapani Sculpture with Gemstones is a stunning representation of divine might and spiritual protection. It is created in Nepal utilizing traditional lost-wax casting, with a copper body, 24K gold gilding, acrylic accents, and hand-set gemstones. Vajrapani, surrounded by a halo of flames and captured mid-stride in a wrathful attitude, emits steadfast power and the capacity to remove barriers on the way to enlightenment.
His bulging eyes, sharp fangs, and fiery eyebrows symbolize his fierce determination to destroy ignorance and protect spiritual practitioners. His golden body represents his vajra nature, symbolizing indestructibility and the transformation of anger into wisdom. Bone ornaments and skull garlands signify impermanence and mastery over ego and fear. The right hand holds a vajra, symbolizing spiritual power to annihilate ignorance. The left-hand lasso binds harmful forces. A warrior-like stance with one leg bent forward and the other extended backward, symbolizing readiness and active engagement in protecting the Dharma. A fiery halo represents purification and transformation through wisdom. He is in Bhutadamara Mudra, which is associated explicitly with subduing spirits and harmful forces. This gesture is characterized by the crossing of wrists, with the palms facing outward and the little fingers linked, forming a chain-like shape. The mudra resembles Garuda's wings and symbolizes a threatening yet protective stance, aimed at taming unruly spirits and dispelling negativity.
