A Tibetan Bronze Statue of Vajrapani with Silver Inlay, 19th Century.
This striking bronze figure represents Vajrapani, the Bodhisattva of power and protection, known for wielding the vajra (thunderbolt). The statue depicts Vajrapani in a dynamic pose, with one arm raised, ready to strike with the weapon in hand, embodying strength and fierce protection. The intense facial expression, marked by a fearsome grimace and the third eye on the forehead (in silver inlay), adds to the powerful and intimidating presence of the figure. This sculpture features intricate detailing, from the flowing robes to the finely sculpted features, set upon a lotus pedestal that symbolizes purity.
H: Approximately 12cm
