Tealight holder - copper, double Dorje

Characterful square tealight holder made of handcrafted metal with a warm copper-iron finish in rust brown and anthracite, measuring 10 × 10 x 10 cm. Each of the four sides shows an openwork double Dorje ( Vishvavajra, tib. རྡོ་རྗེ་རྒྱ་གྲམ།) in relief - by candlelight, the motif casts an impressive shadow pattern on the wall and ceiling. The lively, irregular surface with a hammered texture is typical of Nepalese craftsmanship and makes each piece unique. They are made for us in a traditional workshop in Nepal.

The double Dorje is created from two crossed vajras and symbolizes unshakeable stability in all four cardinal directions. It is regarded as the foundation of the manifested world - the foundation on which the mandala of the universe rests. In Tibetan Buddhist iconography, it often appears on ritual objects, temple pedestals and protective amulets as a sign of absolute stability and spiritual anchoring.
