ANTIQUE 1890\'S CHAKRASAMVARA VAJRAVARAHI 17.5\" BUDDHIST RITUAL WOODEN SCULPTURE:
$10000.00

For your consideration is an amazing and extremely detailed antique, carved wood sculpture of the Buddhist deity, Chakrasamvara, embracing his consort, the goddess, Vajravarahi.

I\'ve personally seen items like this in museums, so I had it authenticated and appraised by Mearto, a reputable appraisal company for antiques and fine art, and they provided the following information:

\"Based on the images and information you provided, this item is:  A 1890s, remarkable, handcrafted and hand-painted wood sculpture depicting Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi showcases a profound representation of Buddhist tantric deities in the Vajrayana tradition, with reminiscences of Kangxi style. Chakrasamvara, often depicted in union with Vajravarahi, embodies the enlightened union of wisdom and compassion. The sculpture\'s significance lies in its portrayal of Chakrasamvara, a male deity, in embrace with Vajravarahi, a female deity. This union symbolizes the integration of wisdom and skillful means on the path to enlightenment. The artistic rendering, likely influenced by traditional iconography, captures the intricate details and symbolism associated with these deities. As a representation of Buddhist

iconography, a Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi wood sculpture serves as a tangible expression of spiritual ideals within the Vajrayana tradition, adding both aesthetic and cultural value to the artwork.\"

I have also provided a screenshot of the appraisal specialist\'s opinion in the photos section of this listing (see last photo).

The sculpture remains in very good condition considering its age, indicative of it being well kept. It appears to have been mounted in or sitting in something else early on based on the difference in color around the base. No signatures or markings are present. I also do not know its origins, however, I would say Tibet or India are very possible given the subject matter.

Measurements: 9 1/2\" wide x 3\" deep  x 17 1/2\" tall.  Weight is approximately 5 lbs. 6 1/2 oz.

Be sure to view all photos as they are considered part of the description and feel free to ask any questions. Additional photos can be taken upon request.

Please pay within 24 hours.

*** Considering the nature and value of this item, it will be insured and shipped via secure, registered mail with signature requirement upon delivery.
