Exquisite Black Dzambhala Dharma Protector Statue | 24K Gold Gilded Copper Sculpture
This exquisite Black Dzambhala statue exemplifies the extraordinary craftsmanship of Patan, Nepal's artisans. This sculpture, embellished with 24K gold gilding, hand-carved jewels, and gold and acrylic paintings, exudes divine beauty and spiritual meaning. The 24K gold gilding provides a sumptuous touch, while the gemstones give depth and color, transforming this item into a spiritual work of art.
The statue of the Dzambala's iconography denotes development and increase, from his skin's deep gold hue to his bulky build denoting riches, from the mongoose spewing wish-fulfilling jewels to the fruit he is carrying. The right leg is extended, pressing upon the yellow Lord of Wealth beneath his foot. A fiery halo rages behind the deity. The elegant gold-plated and acrylic-painted halo illuminates his face, while the wonderfully carved lotus seat is seen as mesmerizing.

Dzambala was born many eons ago in the world known as Hoetzer Jyapa, which means "a hundred light rays." Famines, natural disasters, and wars were unheard of in this region of enormous abundance. In this most fortunate realm, the Buddha Nime Shel spread Mahayoga teachings. Jambala hoped he would be reborn as a god of wealth throughout this wealthy life, with the noble goal of helping the poor and unfortunate.
