- A superb museum quality statue handmade by 5th generation statue makers in Kathmandu, Nepal. This Chenrezig statue took over a year to create with over 12 highly skilled artists working on it entirely by hand.
- Made using the ancient lost-wax method, the artists must first create a detailed wax mold that is coated in clay and dried in the sun. Molten bronze is then poured into the mold to create the figure of the statue. Next, the statue is repeatedly cleaned and polished before being sent to the finishing craftsman who carve and etch all of the amazing tiny details. Finally, the statue is hand painted with gold accents.
- Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, is one of the most popular of all Buddhist deities and is beloved throughout the Buddhist world. Whenever we are compassionate, we experience our own natural connection with Chenrezig.
Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, also known as the Thousand Arm Chenrezig, is the embodiment of great compassion, vowed to free all sentient beings from suffering. In Buddhist art, Avalokiteshvara is often shown with multiple heads and arms which symbolize his limitless capacity to perceive suffering and to help all beings.
Measures approximately 14 inches tall, full of exquisite detail. Handmade in Nepal.
