Padmapani Bodhisattva Lokeshvara Gold Plated Copper Statue 17.5 Inches

This Newari style Padmapani statue is distinguished by its high topknot which is gathered by a diadem with Amitabha Buddha in the center as his spiritual sire. Bodhisattva Padmapani is the most popular form of Avalokiteshvara in Nepal.

The Bodhisattva stands with his right hand lowered at his side in the gesture of generosity (varada mudra), with a sash falling across his thighs, tied above the left knee. He holds a lotus flower with his left hand that blossoms at the level of the shoulder and stands atop a round double lotus base. A beautiful and elegant Newari work of art!

• Do not use scrubbing cloths that are highly abrasive. Similarly, avoid using steel wool or metal bristled brushes as they will leave scratches on the surface of the Statue.
• Try avoiding touching gold statues too much. Oil from your hands can hasten the tarnishing process and reduce the life of your gold objects.
