Description Our artisan made this statue using the traditional lost-wax method. It shows the Karmapa in detailed monastic robes, wearing a five-paneled black crown that symbolizes his role. The statue’s right hand holds a Vajra, representing a thunderbolt, and the left hand holds a Ghanta, which stands for wisdom. This statue is more than just an art piece. It is inspired by reflecting the Karmapa’s teachings on compassion, wisdom, and responsibility. For practitioners, it helps deepen meditation and brings a sense of respect and reflection to any spiritual space. The 16th Karmapa, His Holiness Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, played a key role in keeping the Karma Kagyu lineage alive after the Tibetan exile. He helped set up new monasteries and centers around the world, showing his lasting impact on Tibetan Buddhism. One important achievement was reviving the Shamarpas’ lineage by recognizing and enthroning his nephew, which kept this tradition going. This statue is not merely a representation but a dynamic embodiment of the 16th Karmapa’s legacy, serving as a timeless symbol of compassion, knowledge, and spiritual excellence. Dimension: Height: 11 inches Width: 8 inches Depth: 5 inches Weight: 2.7 kg Made of copper with 24K gold plating.
