Beautiful old bronze figurine depicting Kubera (also named Dzambala), the Tibetan god of wealth.
According to legend, Kubera himself wasn’t born in incredible wealth, but instead in unimaginable poverty. He needed to gain a lot of experience, wisdom and skill along his way to becoming the keeper of all earthly treasures that he is today. Therefore, Kubera is said to especially appreciate those who adequately assess their capabilities, and try to earn not only money, but also a broad outlook and experience.
Kubera rewards those who work hard for an overall rich and full life on all 3 main roads of life; health, career and personal life. He helps to gain, keep and increase not only material and financial wealth, but also a wealth of experience, knowledge and wisdom. He helps to keep a clear overview of where to focus on, where to wisely spend your money, time and energy on and where all this would be wasted and you’d better just stop and walk away.
This small bronze figurine has been made in Nepal in the early 20th century. Over the years, a mixed layer of debris and patina has built up and it shows some small oxidation spots. But overall it is still in very good condition and will make a great focus point on the altar for your personal (wealth)practice. And, considering its age, think about how many prayers and mantra's this figurine must have heard already!
Sizes; approximately 7,5 centimeters high and 6 centimeters wide. Weight;146 grams.
