Item Specific Details & Notes

The Travelling Portable Wooden Tibetan Altar with the five Buddhas, or Pancha Buddha, is a unique piece of equipment designed for Buddhist practitioners. The altar is made from wood and comes with five Buddha statues: Amitabha, Akshobhaya, Virochana, Amogasiddhi, and Ratan Sambara. The altar box has a placeholder for three statues, but it can accommodate all five statues.

The copper full gold-plated statues of the five Buddhas symbolize different qualities that are important in Buddhism, such as wisdom, compassion, and enlightenment. The seven copper water offering bowls and sliding incense holder add to the practicality of the altar, while the incense burner attached to it ensures that practitioners can perform their rituals comfortably.

The minimalist design of the Travelling Portable Wooden Tibetan Altar makes it a practical choice for Buddhist practitioners who want to practice their faith without being weighed down by bulky equipment. The altar is portable and easy to carry, making it an ideal choice for those who want to meditate or perform rituals in different locations.

Overall, the Travelling Portable Wooden Tibetan Altar with the five Buddhas is a beautiful and practical piece of equipment for Buddhist practitioners. Its minimalist design, practical features, and beautiful Buddha statues make it an excellent choice for those who want to practice their faith while on the move.

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.
