Himalayan Traditional Statue Of Buddhist Deity Vajrasattva
Buddhist Deity Vajrasattva Statue was carefully carved by one of our best master artists. He has long experience in this statue sculpting field and is responsible for our statue's design and styling. We have specifically assigned him to carve this statue as we wanted this statue to be a little upper-tier than others. He intentionally designed it to be lightweight at only 2.20 kg with not so small height of 24cm, which we can move quickly, also without degrading the detailed iconographic features of the Deity. Especially those hand-carved body ornaments embedded with different semi-precious stones make the statue even more attractive. Not to mention those very interestingly made patterns over the robes, which took our handful of time. At last, the 24k Gold gilding over the face uses a traditional technique to add elegance and luxury to the statue showing devotion and respect to the deity.

Vajrasattva is typically regarded as the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, based on Amoghavajra's testimony. As recounted in the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasatva inducted Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ceremony and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had gained from Vairocana Buddha. Kukai doesn't go into detail on Vajrasatva or his beginnings.
