His multiple heads are stacked above one another, representing his all-seeing nature, while the central two hands are in the prayer mudra, holding a wish-fulfilling jewel, signifying his role as a source of refuge for all beings. Around him, finely detailed deities and symbols provide further depth to this exquisite piece, enhancing its spiritual significance.
