The Sholdopal style in Tibetan court art originated during the rule of the Fifth Dalai Lama, and since the Ming Dynasty, it has represented the highest level of craftsmanship in the Tibetan region. It was primarily used for crafting statues for the Potala Palace and its surrounding temples, known for their exquisite craftsmanship and unique artistic ideas. This Vajrapani Bodhisattva statue exhibits a rich Sholdopal style, exuding a solemn and majestic presence. Vajrapani Bodhisattva wears a five-tiered crown with a round and imposing face, displaying a fierce and terrifying countenance. Three round eyes, bared teeth, and a broad nose. The body is robust, with short and sturdy limbs, radiating a powerful martial aura. The right hand raises the vajra high, while the left hand forms a gesture of subduing obstacles. Standing in a wide stance, the front leg bent and the back leg extended. The pedestal beneath the figure is a long, oval lotus base with petals resembling teardrops, full and dynamic. Vajrapani Bodhisattva is an embodiment of Mahayana's powerful Bodhisattva, possessing immense authority, being capable of subduing all demonic hindrances, and annihilating all difficulties arising from earth, water, fire, wind, and space. All wishes and aspirations are fulfilled without exception.
