Petite Goddess Mahapratisara Charm

This petite brass sculpture is of the eight-armed goddess Mahapratisara, worshipped in Tibetan Buddhism as a protecting and prosperity granting Bodhisattva. She is considered to be an emanation of Buddha Ratnasambhava, one of the five meditation Buddhas, with the ability to transform pride into the wisdom of sameness. Her distinctive eight hands are adorned with various symbolic Buddhist objects and gestures. Placed upon an altar table or set within a shrine, this travel-sized figurine provides a focal point for prayer and guided meditation.
