Hand-Painted Vajrasattva Dorje Sempa YabYum Thangka
Vintage Dorje Sempa Yab Yum:
Authentic Dorje Sempa Yab Yum is a distinctive work of art that has its roots in Tibet. While "Yab Yum" is a Tibetan word for "father-mother," it refers to the marriage of wisdom and compassion. The phrase "Dorje Sempa" refers to the Vajrasattva, a bodhisattva in Buddhist tradition.
An antique Dorje Sempa Yab Yum sculpture often made of bronze or other metals shows a male and female deity. The male form symbolizes the deity's intellect, while the female figure symbolizes its sympathetic side. They are pictured cuddling up in a marriage that represents the ultimate truth of the cosmos.
These statues, which are frequently embellished with minute details, are highly revered in Tibetan Buddhism. The value of vintage Dorje Sempa Yab Yum items is significant.
