Weighing a substantial 7.25 pounds, the sculpture portrays the enlightened deity seated in the dhyana asana upon a double lotus throne. In the left hand, he holds the ghanta bell, symbolizing wisdom; while in the right hand, the vajra thunderbolt, symbolizing the combined forces of male and female energy to conquer evil. A dhoti and shawl gracefully draping the shoulders, layers of necklaces adorn his chest. An elaborate crown atop his downward-tilting head with another small crown adorning his chignon. His countenance exudes a gentle and reassuring smile, conveying a sense of protection and peace. The double lotus throne, finely incised with Tibetan treasures and anchored by two center wheels, adds to the sculpture's majestic presence. With its meticulous attention to detail and realistic renderings enhanced by gilding, this statue is a magnificent embodiment of spiritual grace and carries with it the deity's great power of blessing. Remarkable vintage condition with all original patina. less
