Chenrezig Statue | 14″ | 24K Gold Gilded | Floating Mala | Nepal

Our Nepali master artisan created this authentic 14″ four-armed Chenrezig statue with floating mala beads — the strand loops free-standing in the air from his upper right hand, a remarkable feat of the lost wax method. The hand carved crown and jewels of a Bodhisattva are embellished with embedded turquoise and red coral stones, echoed across the armlets, sleeves, and necklace. The statue expresses the finest monastic quality found in Tibetan monasteries, which have sourced their statues from Nepali artisans for many centuries.

The cintamani “wish fulfilling” jewel is pressed between the palms of his two principal hands, held at the heart in reverence. Devotees of Chenrezig believe this gem can grant every wish. The floating mala itself began as the request of a devoted customer, and we are now able to create this 14″ Chenrezig with the floating mala according to your own Buddhist tradition.

The floating mala is considered by some to be the central piece of the statue, because Chenrezig is constantly reciting his mantra Om Mani Padme Hum on behalf of all beings — explore the meaning of Om Mani Padme Hum, syllable by syllable, in our comprehensive guide. In his raised left hand he holds the lotus blossom, earning him the name Padmapani, “lotus-bearer,” while the antelope skin draped over his left shoulder — its head visible at his chest — marks his gentle, all-embracing compassion.

Chenrezig sits in the full lotus posture on an oval lotus pedestal, its boldly carved petals ringed by a beaded rim, with the ends of his celestial scarf rising in carved scrolls at either side. His dhoti is engraved throughout with fine floral patterns, gathered at the waist by a jeweled girdle, and his eyes are cast gently downward toward all sentient beings.

Masterpiece 14″ Chenrezig Statue with Floating Mala

The artisan created the statue using the traditional lost wax sculpting method, so the buyer can rest assured they have purchased a monastic quality statue that will last many lifetimes. The 24K gold finish was applied by the fire gilding method and will remain tarnish free indefinitely, its rich golden hue inspiring all who lay eyes on it. The face is hand painted in real gold. Like all of our sculptures, this statue is ready for filling, blessing, and consecration in your own tradition — and you can compare every form of the Bodhisattva of Compassion in our Avalokiteshvara statue collection.
