Samantabhadra with Consort Primordial Wisdom Statue - A Symbol of Inseparable Compassion and Emptiness This Samantabhadra with Consort Primordial Wisdom Statue measures 8.6”/22cm in height and 6.8”/17.5cm across the base, weighing 2.19 kg. The sculpture is crafted from a copper body, which forms the figures, their embracing arms, seated posture, facial features, and lotus pedestal. The surface is richly finished with 24K gold gilding, covering the bodies, arms, legs, and lotus base with a radiant golden appearance while highlighting the smooth sculpted forms. Acrylic painting is carefully applied to the hair and facial details, with the dark blue hair and finely painted eyes, eyebrows, and facial features creating contrast against the gold surface. The lotus pedestal is also fully gilded and features individually carved overlapping petals arranged around the circular base. The iconography depicts the male figure seated in vajra posture with the consort seated directly in his lap and facing him in an intimate embrace. The male figure has a calm facial expression, elongated earlobes, and dark blue hair arranged in a high rounded topknot. His lower hands are joined together in meditation at the lap, while his upper arms extend around the consort. The consort is shown from the back, with her long dark blue hair flowing down the center of her back and both arms raised around his neck. Her legs are positioned around his body, emphasizing the close union of the two figures. Both figures are depicted without clothing or elaborate external ornaments, placing emphasis on their seated embrace and meditative union. The pair rests above a broad lotus pedestal, whose layered petals form the complete foundation of the sculpture. The yab-yum embrace represents the inseparable union of wisdom and enlightened awareness, while the meditative posture reinforces the contemplative nature of the depiction.
