Wearing an imposing crown with the icon of Buddha in the center, draped in brocaded silken attire, standing like the manifestation of heavenly benevolence in this wooden Nepalese statue is the Mahayana deity Amoghapasha. Amoghapasha literally means the infallible rope, which underlines the deity’s powerful grip over devotees, pulling them out of the troubles of the world. The shadabhuja or six-armed form of Amoghapasha is a powerful Tantric manifestation of the god, symbolizing an expansion of his role as the savior. Emanating a paternal bliss, Amoghapasha reassures the troubled devotees in this standing wooden icon.
