This extraordinary sculpture by Zhenping artist Yang Xing is titled Demon-Subduing Vajra (降魔杵) — a powerful Buddhist ritual object reimagined in Australian black jade. Towering in vertical form, the piece depicts a seated Buddha atop a stylized Vajra, intricately layered with fierce protective motifs and mythic beasts. Every detail, from the Buddha’s serene expression to the formidable base, speaks to a duality of peace and power.
The artwork combines spiritual symbolism with striking craftsmanship. The Vajra (or dorje) represents the indestructible nature of truth and the force to overcome evil. In Buddhist tradition, it is both a tool of enlightenment and a weapon of compassion. Yang Xing captures this balance beautifully — merging fierce protection with meditative calm.
Estimated price for this piece by Yang Xing AUD$10,640 (RMB￥50,000)
