Gesar

The Epic of King Gesar is a legendary tale that originated in the Tibetan plateau and is considered an important cultural heritage of the Tibetan people. It is a heroic epic that tells the story of King Gesar, a legendary warrior and ruler who was believed to have magical powers and divine connections. According to the legend, King Gesar was an incarnation of the Buddhist god Manjushri, and his mission was to protect his people and promote peace and harmony.

The epic is known for its complex narrative, rich symbolism, and mystical themes. It weaves together elements of history, myth, and religion, and incorporates a diverse range of characters, including humans, demons, and divine beings. The epic celebrates the values of courage, loyalty, and compassion, and is believed to have played a significant role in shaping Tibetan culture and identity.

As a figure in Tibetan Buddhism, King Gesar is revered as a symbol of enlightened leadership and spiritual power. His story continues to inspire people around the world to this day, and has been the subject of many artistic and literary works.

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.
