Standing at a dominating height of 12.2 inches and resting on a 10.6-inch base, this sculpture weighs 6.06 kg and is expertly constructed from copper body. It is embellished with 24K gold gilding and detailed gold and acrylic paintings, representing Vajrakilaya's ferocious determination and protective force.

The dynamic posture of Vajrakilaya, poised with the phurba (ritual dagger) that pierces through defilements, symbolizes the active engagement with and transformation of negative energies into wisdom.
