        Statue of Hevajra Tantra (八瓣莲花喜金刚坛城像)

     

     

     

    The statue of Hevajra Tantra is one of the most precious treasures in the Palace. The 14th-century statue was a typical royal artwork of the Ming Dynasty and measures 81.4 centimeters tall. It is a variation of the Buddhist instrument mandala, with Hevajra Tantra standing at the center of an open lotus with eight petals.
