About Our Product
This Himalayan Citipati Bone Sculpture measures 8cm in height, 3.5cm in length, and 2.5cm in width, with a weight of 0.036 kg. Crafted from ethically sourced horn, this sacred handcrafted artifact features the traditional depiction of Citipati, the skeletal guardians known in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The sculpture presents the dancing form of Citipati with detailed carved bones, expressive movements, and symbolic features that represent the teachings of impermanence and spiritual awareness.
This sculpture is carefully carved from top to bottom, showing Citipati in a dynamic dancing posture with raised arms, exposed skeletal details, and a joyful expression. The upper section features flowing ornamental patterns, while the central figure displays detailed ribs, limbs, and traditional adornments associated with Citipati imagery. The lower section includes carved decorative patterns inspired by lotus motifs, symbolizing purity and the transformation of the mind. The back side reveals the natural texture and dark surface of the ethically sourced horn, highlighting the unique character of the material and the traditional carving technique.
Citipati are revered in Vajrayana Buddhism as powerful symbols of impermanence, reminding practitioners that all physical forms are constantly changing. Their dancing appearance represents the triumph over fear, attachment, and ignorance while encouraging awareness, wisdom, and spiritual transformation. This Himalayan Citipati Bone Sculpture serves as a meaningful sacred object for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, and collections of Tibetan ritual art.
