Face painted in cold gold and parcel gilded in gold and copper, finely incised in floral motif, seated in lalitasana on a lotus, his pendent right foot supported on a conch atop a lotus bud (a symbol of prosperous voyage), right hand holding another conch shell, and his left holds a Nakula Mongoose which dispensing gold pieces. The commanding presence of this statue of Kubera befits his role as the emanation of Vaisravana Dharmarpala, the Lord of Wealth and Guardian Deity of the North. He is the most important deity among the eight generals of Vaisravana. The statue is sealed with a copper base engraved with a double vajra, an indication of a ritual blessing known as "rab gnas", a consecrated process which a high ranking Lama invites the deity to enter into the completed image, and the statue is believed to contain the actual presence of the deity, the dharmakaya, or Truth Body of the Buddha.
