Sahasrabhuja Avalokitesvara

Sahasrabhuja Avalokiteshvara the Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Eyed form of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion. Each of the 1,000 hands represents his boundless ability to help all sentient beings, while the eye in each palm symbolizes wisdom and omnipresent awareness.
This form embodies the limitless compassion and active assistance Avalokiteshvara offers to beings suffering in samsara (the cycle of birth and death). He reaches out in all directions at once, offering protection, healing, and spiritual guidance.

According to legend, Avalokiteshvara vowed never to rest until he had liberated all beings from suffering. Seeing the endless pain in the world, his body shattered into pieces. Amitabha Buddha, his spiritual father, reassembled him in this form with a thousand arms and eleven heads, enabling him to better serve all beings.

This form is especially revered in Tibetan Buddhism, where he is known as Chenrezig. He is considered the patron deity of Tibet, and his compassion is central to many daily practices.

Item Specific Details & Notes

Loss Wax System
This is the Nepali handmade statue, Made by the process of los wax system with the skillful hands of Nepali crafts man from Patan a famous city inside Kathmandu valley popular for metal crafts.

Finishing
This is full fire Gilded statue with the gold [painted Face]. The gold Gilding is done by the ancient process of gold plating, where a grinded mixture of Gold, Mercury and Glass is applied to the body of the statue, which then is heated, burning off the mercury and leaving back a rich permanent plating of gold. After the Gold plating is completed it is sent for the antique patina finishing.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
