Black Mahakala: The Protector and Remover of Obstacles
Black Mahakala, also known as Bernakchen, is a revered deity in Tibetan Buddhism. Known for his wrathful yet compassionate nature, he serves as a protector and guide, dispelling ignorance and negativity. Depicted with a dark blue or black complexion, Black Mahakala stands on a corpse, symbolizing the triumph over ego and attachment. Adorned with a crown of five skulls, he wields a trident, skullcup, and curved knife, embodying the power to destroy obstacles and foster spiritual wisdom. Practicing devotion to Black Mahakala is believed to bring inner strength, wisdom, and the ability to overcome life’s challenges.
Chocolate Oxidized Finish: Aged Beauty
This Mahakala statue features a chocolate color antique patina, achieved through a meticulous artificial oxidation process. This finish replicates the look of a century-old copper statue, providing depth, character, and protection against natural wear. Unlike superficial coatings, this enduring patina adds an authentic vintage charm while maintaining the statue’s quality over time.
Lost-Wax Casting: Exceptional Artistry
The Black Mahakala statue is crafted using the Lost-Wax system, a centuries-old technique known for its precision and intricate detail. Skilled artisans create a detailed wax model, encase it in ceramic layers, and melt the wax to form a mold. Molten metal is then poured into the cavity, and once cooled, the ceramic shell is removed to reveal a flawless sculpture. This method ensures the statue’s remarkable detail and durability, making it a timeless piece of art.
