Early Chakrasamvara Vajrayogini Tantric Union
For your consideration this lot is a rare, early Bronze Chakrasamvara Union With Vajrayogini Tantric Statue. This powerful depiction of Chakrasamvara embracing his yogini consort Vajravarahi is a highly energized visualization, such as would have been experienced by an advanced tantric master. These are key deities in the Vajrayana system, uniting two of the most powerful ideas in esoteric Buddhism, wisdom, embodied in Vajravarahi, and compassion, the essence of Chakrasamvara. His name, which translates as Circle of Bliss, embodies the powerful union of these two fundamentals tenets of Buddhism. Like all male deities shown in union, Chakrasamvara represents skillful means—the tools one uses on the path to enlightenment—while the female Vajravarahi represents the wisdom necessary to progress along that path. This bronze is in nice condition with consistent detailing of physical features. Some pitting noted, rich patina exhibited throughout. Measures 10.5"W x 15.75"H x 6"D, weight approximate 9lb, 10oz.
