About the Item
Wonderful small silvered bronze of Vajradhara. Indian, circa 1900.
7 inches high by 4 wide by 3 deep
The Tibetan Buddhist deity Vajradhara is seated in a yogic meditation on a lotus pedestal. His hands hold identifying attributes, the dorje (vajra, thunderbolt scepter denoting clarity of mind) and the prayer bell (ghanta), here associated with wisdom (prajna). The deity displays fine robes with decorated borders, and a large and elaborate ritual crown and floral ear ornaments. Vajradhara’s robe is placed around the shoulders in a style evolved from the Central Asian cloudcollar.
Vajradhara, the 'Indestructible', lord of all mysteries, master of all secrets. According to Mahayana school, it is to Vajradhara that the subdued and conquered evil spirits swear allegiance and renounce all active opposition to the Buddhist faith.

Tibetan Bronze and Gilt Temple Shrine Sculpture of Deity Bodhisattva White Tara
Located in Studio City, CA
This is a fantastic piece. Perhaps part of a Tibetan temple shrine at one time. Beautiful faded gilt coloring and patina. We believe this is the Tibeat figure of the white Tara, the goddess of great compassion. She is akin to the Chinese figure of Quan Yin.
We are listing as 20th century but could be older.
Nice size and weight.
Would be a great addition to any collection and sure to stand out in any setting. From a large collection of Chinese and Tibetan antiques...
