PATAN MUSEUM EXHIBITION

Length: 83 cm / Width: 66 cm / Depth: 25 cm

This statue was part of the exhibition in the Patan Museum: "The Revival of Newari Woodcarving, 2024".

This relief is a pure masterpiece of woodcarving, with its finely balanced features of boddhisattvas and deities.

Ratnasambhava (which in Sanskrit means 'born from the Jewel') is one of the Five Dhyanis Buddhas.  He represents the qualities of compassionate generosity, beauty, and creativity, and is used in meditation to annihilate greed and pride. His vehicles are horses and lions. The horses who carry the throne of Ratnasambhava symbolise the necessary efforts for reaching wisdom.
