Gold Plated Zambala statue with filigree and inlaid with synthetic gemstones in coral, turquoise, lapis lazuli blue. Zambala (Jambhala) is also known as Kuber (Kubera), the God of Wealth and prosperity. Zambala is additionally accepted to be a spread of Avalokitesvara or Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Zambala is the fortune of riches and flourishing. The body is made of a copper casting, silvered and gilded, set with filigree and set synthetic gemstones in ruby red, emerald green, lapis lazuli blue.
It is accepted that in the event that anybody keeps the work of art or sculpture of Zambala in their home, they will be honored with abundance and flourishing. This can be a best Buddhist present for wishing flourishing.
There are five Jambhalas - yellow, white, black, green and red - of which yellow is the most common form. Each form has its own special significance and attributes. Yellow Zambhala is depicted adorned with a crown, silk garments, and beautiful gold and jeweled ornaments. He is seated imperially upon a throne, with a bijapuraka (citron) fruit in his right hand and a mongoose in his left hand. The mongoose constantly spews forth precious jewels and treasures, and represents Jambhala's victory over the nagas.

Protecting the Face
As the face is painted it is highly recommended that the face of the statue is to be greatly taken care of as it requires a very professional and skilled face artist to repair the face of dirt and damages. Commonly to protect it from damage the statue with painted face is placed under a glass box and it is always covered with a cotton face mask if it has to be moved.
All our statues are handmade. Each piece is unique and it is impossible to reproduce exactly the same. Slight differences may therefore appear in the shapes, proportions, colors and materials used in our descriptions and specification sheets.
