This is a beautiful antique statue of Chakrasamvara and Vajrayogini in tantric union, symbolizing wisdom and compassion combining into enlightenment.
This statue was cast in Tibet in the mid to late 1800s and would’ve been used for personal devotion and secret tantric practice.Chakrasamvara is one of the principal yidam deities of Highest Yoga Tantra, representing the transformative power that turns passion into spiritual realization. Vajrayogini, his consort, embodies transcendent wisdom and is revered as one of the most profound female tantric deities in Tibetan Buddhism. Their yab-yum (sacred union) posture symbolizes the union of bliss and emptiness — the essence of tantric enlightenment.The Chakrasamvara tradition emerged in India within a rich tantric environment that included strong parallels with Shaivite imagery, and certain iconographic elements reflect that historical connection to forms of Shiva.A powerful devotional object and an excellent example of 19th-century Tibetan craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of Himalayan art and Buddhist ritual objects.Size: 3.5" X 1.75" X 5.75" (inches)
