About Our Statue
This Conqueror of Death Yamantaka Statue is a remarkable piece of Tibetan Buddhist craftsmanship, handcrafted from a copper body with radiant gold plating and enriched with acrylic colors. Measuring 22.5 cm in height and 18.5 cm in width, and weighing 2.12 kg, this sacred statue captures the fierce and transformative power of Yamantaka, known in Vajrayana Buddhism as the "Destroyer of Death." Revered as a powerful manifestation of wisdom, Yamantaka represents the victory of enlightenment over ignorance and mortality.
The artistry of this statue is breathtaking, featuring multiple wrathful faces, crowned heads, and numerous hands holding ritual objects that symbolize different aspects of spiritual power. A blazing aureole of fire encircles the figure, representing the burning away of obstacles and negative energies. Gold plating highlights the dramatic expressions and detailed motifs. At the same time, the use of vibrant acrylic color enhances the symbolic features — from the crown of skulls to the intricate ornaments adorning the deity. Each detail is carefully designed to embody deep spiritual meaning and inspire devotion.
In Tibetan tradition, this Yamantaka Buddhist statue serves as a sacred representation of protection and transformation. Invoked as a guardian against obstacles and inner afflictions, Yamantaka embodies the triumph of higher wisdom over fear and death. This gold-plated copper Yamantaka sculpture is ideal for meditation spaces, Buddhist altars, or collections of Himalayan spiritual art. More than a work of art, it is a powerful Buddhist deity statue that brings profound blessings, inspiration, and spiritual strength into its surroundings.
Introduction to Yamantaka
The Yamantaka statue is depicted in various forms, including Yamantaka Ekavira, meaning "lone hero." He has a bull's or buffalo's head with long horns as the center head, among many other features. There are eight primary heads, with the Bodhisattva Manjushri's little crowned head at the pinnacle. Yamantaka was dressed in an elephant-skin robe, a garland of freshly cut human skulls, snakes, interwoven bone ornament bracelets, necklaces, and a girdle. Except for his adornments, he is naked. A flaming halo is behind him, and his erect phallus has a crimson tip. He wields a chopping knife (Kartika) in his primary hands, symbolizing his power to sever the root of illusion.
How do you take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
