A very rare copper with gilded plating 100 deity torma. It has the 8 Auspicious Symbols around the bottom.It is 7.8 inches tall.

A torma is considered to represent the awakened mind of the Buddha and through our connection with them our own Buddha mind can be awakened. Each torma’s exact shape, proportion, and color arise from the wisdom minds of the Buddhas. Therefore, its sublime material form facilitates spiritual practice and accomplishment. A torma is said to purify ignorance, and when ignorance is purified what’s remains is Buddha’s awakened mind, also known as the Dharmakaya, the body of ultimate enlightenment. Tantric Buddhist practitioners use Tormas commonly, yet their benefits reach beyond to anyone who wishes to bring the enlightened energy of the Buddha’s into their environment.

While it is most common to use tormas on a shrine for spiritual practice, they could also be used to accumulate positive energy in the home or could simply be appreciated as spiritual art. Tormas are believed to bring about not only spiritual wisdom, but to attract other beneficial conditions such as: increased wealth, success, improved health, and overall protection from harm.
