Black Jambhala: About the Black Jambhala
Black Jambhala, or Kubera, is revered as the God of Wealth in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions. He is known for bestowing financial prosperity and helping those in need. According to legend, Jambhala emerged from the waters of a river, bringing wealth to a king whose kingdom was struggling with financial hardship. Black Jambhala is believed to assist not only kings and rulers but also the poor and those with virtuous intentions, particularly those who seek wealth through righteous means. His powerful presence invokes blessings for financial abundance, prosperity, and material fulfillment.
Shakti: Symbolism of Wisdom and Compassion
The Shakti Yab-Yum symbolizes the union of wisdom and compassion. In this depiction, the male deity represents compassion, while the female consort represents insight. The Yab-Yum posture—where the female figure sits in the lap of the male deity—signifies a union that transcends duality, balancing the spiritual forces of wisdom and compassion. The Yab-Yum form emphasizes the interconnectedness of the masculine and feminine energies, resulting in harmonious coalescence.
Traditional Color Finishing
This Black Jambhala Statue is finished with traditional colors, applying gold and other vivid hues to replicate the authentic shades associated with the deity. The use of traditional color techniques is essential in Buddhist iconography, as each color has spiritual significance and represents specific attributes of the deity. In this statue, the gold accents enhance the presence of Jambhala and his consort, bringing a rich, sacred quality to the piece.
Lost-Wax System: Time-Honored Craftsmanship
The statue is crafted using the Lost-Wax casting method, a technique passed down through generations for creating intricate metal sculptures. The process begins with the creation of a detailed wax model which is then coated in a ceramic shell. After the shell hardens, the wax is melted out, leaving a cavity into which molten metal is poured. The metal is allowed to cool, solidify, and form a precise replica of the original model. This method ensures that every detail of the Black Jambhala statue is captured perfectly, creating a durable and finely detailed sculpture.
