This Simha Mukha Yogini Statue is handmade by experienced Nepalese artisans using traditional Himalayan techniques. Cast in copper alloy through the lost-wax method, each piece is refined by hand-carving, gold-plated for a warm finish, and finished with a carefully hand-painted face to enhance expression and detail. The result is a compact, richly detailed statue that balances devotional presence with collectible quality.
The traditional lost-wax casting process begins with a detailed wax model of the statue. The wax model is invested in a heat-resistant mold; when the mold is heated the wax melts away, leaving a cavity in the exact shape of the sculpture. Molten copper alloy is poured into this cavity. After cooling, artisans break the mold, clean the casting, and refine the surface by hand. Finally, the Simha Mukha Yogini Statue receives gold plating and a hand-painted face. This method preserves fine detail and makes each statue uniquely handmade.
Made in Nepal, this Simha Mukha Yogini Statue reflects local expertise in Buddhist and Himalayan metalwork. Its artistic value lies in the precise carving and the subtle variations that arise from hand finishing. Suitable for display, reverent practice, or as part of a curated collection, the Simha Mukha Yogini Statue offers cultural authenticity without overstating ritual specifics.
