About this Sculpture
Expertly cast from copper alloy and fully gilded with 24 karat gold in antique finish, this sculpture is a profoundly wrathful representation of Bichhupani. This sculpture was individually handcrafted in Patan, Nepal by master artisans of the Shakya clan who are considered among the best in the world. These craftsmen are the modern heirs to a centuries-old tradition of creating sacred art for use in temples and monasteries. The fine metalworking techniques have been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times.
