The Buddhist protector deity Vajrapani is depicted in an ethereal, animated manner in this Nepalese statue made of copper and gold. The muscularity of a lunging Vajrapani, the sway in his posture, and the savagery of his expressions render this figure memorable. The fiery aureole, strings from Vajrapani's girdle, tiger hide garments, fire hair, and scarf all swing together in this metal arrangement to give us the impression of movement. Vajrapani has a Vajra and a rope in his hands and appears to be leaping at the obstacles in the road of dhamma with great vigour.
