Item Details
Description
Vajrapani

Tibet, 17th Century

Gilt Bronze and precious stones

8 inches, 21 cm.

This particular figure is a solid, powerful, and rounded cast of Vajrapasa; an uncommon form of Vajrapani in which he holds a noose in his left hand . He is seen in alidasana pose wearing a dhoti incised with tiger-skin stripes flanked by a windswept sash, five-point bodhisattva crown symbolizing the five Tathagathas, and jewelry adorned around his entire body. A thick and powerful snake is wrapped around the neck alongside rich sky-blue inset semi-precious stones. A wild mane of hair is atop Vajrapani’s iconographic third eye. This figure has delicate etch-work throughout, and a powerful wrathful expression.
