Description
The Thunderbolt-bearing Bodhisattva. A Buddhist savior Vajrapani from the seventh century or soon after. Vajrapani, the “holder of a thunderbolt” (vajra), shares his origins with the Vedic deity Indra, god of storms. Early in Buddhist iconography, the thunderbolt scepter assumed an independent meaning associated with clarity of pure thought leading to enlightenment. Vajrapani stands flexed holding the vajra in his raised hand, the other resting on the dwarf attendant with a club-axe who seemingly mimics his gestures.
