Vajrasattva, the "diamond being", embodies purity and is invoked in Tibetan Buddhist purification practice. The caption names this 19th/20th-century figure as Vajrasattva ("Bajrasattwo"). Unusually, the photo shows a standing figure in a wide lunging stance, arms crossed at the chest holding ritual implements, with a tall crown and blue-painted hair; the metal has a golden-brass tone. It measures 10 cm.
