A lovely gold gilded statue of Guru Rinpoche measuring 3.5 inches tall.
Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, helped to establish the Dharma in Tibet in the eighth century by constructing Samye Monastary, the first Buddhist monastary in Tibet. He is often called the Buddha of our times, or the Second Buddha.
These Statues have been gilded through a process of electric gold plating, which deposits a thin layer of gold upon the exterior with an electro-chemical process. The end result is absolutely stunning.
