Vajrasattva standing on a double lotus pedestal. The Bodhisattva stands in samapada-asana (Tribhanga), a posture relatively typical of his representations, his right hand raised to chest level and holding a vajra (skt. Dorje), his left lowered with a bell (skt. Ghanta), representing the absolute and the ephemeral.
He is dressed in a dhoti with finely chiseled floral decoration, wearing an akshamala around his neck and jewels, and in the center of his crown, the seated figure of Akshobhya, the Tathagata meditation Buddha of the East, embodying "mirror knowledge" (what is real and what is illusory).
In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajrasattva mantra is considered to have the capacity to purify karma, bring peace and provoke enlightened activity.
