is the inner form of the primordial buddha Vajradhara and represents all the Buddha
Families. The silver gilt represented that the Tathagata is white in radiance,
he is holding a vajra in his right hand, and a bell in his left, adorned with
a large crown, with a flowing sash wrapping around his bared torso, and seated
on a lotus moon disk with Vajradhatu Ishvari on his lap, as her face gazing upward
and their eyes coincide, her right hand is raised with a chopper and in her left
a skullcup, naked and embellished with only a jewel waist belt, her legs entwined
Vajrasattva in perfect union. The face of both Deities are painted in cold gold
with delicate line works. The statue is very heavy for its size. It has a beautifully
aged silver patina, sealed and engraved with a double vajra on the base; which
indicating that it was consecrated to invite the deities into the statue.
