very well cast bronze statue is magnificently modelled and gilded in silver and
gold, in every conforming details as the deity is depicted in Tibetan tradition.
Here the wealth-bestowing White Jambhala is wrathful in appearance, he wears a
five-points crown, behind which the head of Garuda emerges from his flaming hair.
The Dharmapala has three bulging eyes, a forcible square jaw where fangs and teeth
are shown in his half smile, and he is half naked, adorned with strings of beads
and ornaments, with a wealth forging khatvanga in in hands, sitting in a royal
ease position above a lotus pedestal saddle that mounted on the silver gilded
dragon, with its head
turning upward smiling toward the Wealth God, on a podium formed from twirling
tide pools it firmly stands. The entire figure appears to be welded from three
sections, and exquisitely held together with resplendent details. It is truly
a dynamic statue infused with the presence of this powerful deity, the White Jambhala.
