In Tibetan Buddhism, Kubera, also known as Jambhala, is a potent deity of Buddhist cosmology who is worshipped in his glorious form as a celestial protector and giver of perpetual wealth. Kubera is depicted in his classical iconography in this magnificent copper statue from Nepal. His leg is hanging down in Maharajalilasana, a stance appropriate for a king, and he is seated on an elaborate throne with a small lotus growing from it. Attired in beautifully delineated brocaded garments, Kubera carries his Moongose which emits gems from his open mouth, and a conch in his hand, which is a symbol of the wealth of the underworld. Wreathed in enchanting colors, this icon of Kubera is a powerful representation for his devotees, to meditate upon the protector in a glorious form.
