Our 12″ gold gilded Chenrezig statue projects awesome precision and intricate craftsmanship. Please observe the intricate details in the bodhisattva jewels and crown — its tall flame-shaped leaves framed by crown ribbons curling at the temples. Additionally, the lotus flower, cintamani jewel, and mala beads are intricately designed and well displayed: the mala loops from his upper right hand, and a fully opened lotus blossoms at his upper left shoulder. An additional benefit of this statue is the hand painted face with fine detail. As a result, you can rest assured that this Chenrezig statue is of monastic quality.
Some additional features include the necklines, the ushnisha topknot, and the third eye of wisdom painted between the brows — learn more about these sacred marks in our guide to Buddha physical characteristics. Chenrezig is seated in full lotus pose on a double lotus pedestal: an upper tier of small petals and a lower tier of broad ones, set between a finely ribbed seat rim and an engraved band of scrolling foliage that runs around the entire base. The statue is fully gilded in 24K gold, which adds a very special luster to this venerable statue, and the engraved hem of his robe spills gracefully over the edge of the seat.
This gold Chenrezig statue is an embodiment of the “Bodhisattva of Compassion.” As a result, Buddhists worldwide can receive inspiration and develop compassionate attributes of their own.
Best Gold Chenrezig Statue
Chenrezig is an embodiment of Avalokiteshvara that is very special to Tibetan Buddhists — explore how this form developed in our guide to Avalokiteshvara’s cultural evolution. As a result, a gold Chenrezig statue has become the special sculpture made by Nepali artisans, who have been the primary suppliers of the Tibetan monasteries for many centuries. Over the course of the last 1000 years the Nepali artisans have perfected the lost wax sculpting method — the prized method that creates the intricate detail and precision in Tibetan Buddha statues.
