Description:
This exceptional, Double Vajra is crafted from copper that is gilded and then inset with carved pieces of coral and turquoise – with Himalayan crystal tips.

The Double Vajra (Visvavajra) has its origins in Buddhist myth:

In the emptiness of space, a mild wind began blowing. Over time, it filled the great Void, growing in power over eons until it coalesced into the vajra cross. This weighty, immutable object is said to be the foundation of the universe or Visvavajra (in Sanskrit, visva = universe). Depicted as an X or in vertical form (like a plus sign), it is also a symbol of protection.

The Double Vajra is formed from four lotus-mounted vajra-heads that emanate from a central hub towards the four cardinal directions and symbolizes the principle of absolute stability. Pointedly, the Double Vajra is a protective symbol that dispels evil, temptation, and deception from the four directions, dispels ignorance and invites wisdom, boosting power.

The detail and craftsmanship displayed in this unique Double Vajra is absolutely remarkable.
