The combination of gold-colored bronze, deep reddish-brown lacquer patina, and traces of green oxidation gives the statue a weathered, ritual appearance. With a height of 22 cm and a weight of 1.8 kg, it feels compact yet very solid.\n\n\nVajrasattva, also known as Dorje Sempa in Tibetan, is the Buddha of purification within Vajrayana Buddhism. His presence is associated with releasing negative energy, cleansing old karma, and restoring inner clarity. This makes the statue particularly suitable for an altar, meditation room, or interior where tranquility, protection, and spiritual focus are central.\n\nThe iconography is rich and recognizable. In his right hand, Vajrasattva holds the vajra, the diamond or lightning symbol that stands for indestructible power, compassion, and spiritual method. In his left hand rests the ghanta, the ritual bell that symbolizes wisdom, emptiness, and insight. Together, these attributes represent the balance between compassion and wisdom, a core idea within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe statue is decoratively elaborated all around with a high crown, graceful robes, floral ornaments, and a broad lotus base. The red patina layer gives the object visual depth, while the gold-colored accents on the face, hands, and attributes reinforce the ritual character. The reverse side shows clear green copper oxidation in the deeper zones, consistent with an older, copper-rich bronze object with natural aging.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis is not a flat decorative statue, but an object with a real presence. Due to its substantial weight, rich color contrasts, and spiritual significance, it is appealing to collectors of Himalayan art, enthusiasts of Tibetan Buddhism, and interiors where a powerful, symbolic focal point is desired. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a6d3b; font-size:20px; margin-top:35px; margin-bottom:15px; font-weight:normal;\"\u003e\nProduct details\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; font-size:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee; width:30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBronze Vajrasattva statue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eVajrasattva \/ Dorje Sempa with vajra and ghanta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHimalaya region, Tibetan Buddhist \/ Nepalese tradition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMid-20th century, ca. 1950–1970\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHeavy copper alloy \/ bronze with reddish-brown patina, gold-colored accents and polychrome remnants\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeaning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePurification, protection, transformation, compassion, wisdom and inner clarity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eH 22 x W 15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e1.8 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eGood authentic condition with patina, wear to the gilding, reddish-brown lacquer residue, green copper oxidation, and normal signs of age and use consistent with age and material.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57465160073547,"sku":"612","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/tibetaans-vajrasattva-beeld-brons-rode-patine.jpg?v=1780040617","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/tibetan-vajrasattva-statue-bronze-himalayas-22-cm","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
