Gilded copper statue "Vajrapani" in antique style with patina

This Vajrapani statue shows the powerful protector of the Buddha in a dynamic, wrathful depiction of Tibetan-Himalayan Buddha art. Vajrapani stands in an energetic pacing position, surrounded by an openwork flame aureole symbolizing his transformative and protective energy. The expressive facial expression with protruding eyes and flowing hair symbolizes the overcoming of ignorance and negative forces.

In his upraised hand, Vajrapani holds the vajra, the thunderbolt, as a sign of indestructible spiritual power and clarity. The figure stands on a finely crafted lotus base and has a warm, naturally aged patina in bronze and gold tones, which particularly emphasizes the handcrafted details.

The statue is traditionally handcrafted from metal by a master craftsman in Nepal and carefully finished. With a height of approx. 16.5 cm, a width of approx. 12 cm and a depth of approx. 5 cm and weighing approx. 640 g, it is ideal for a home altar, a meditation room or as an expressive collector's item with spiritual significance.
