This vintage style Chinese medal with Mahakala ornament. Handmade of bronze with plated gold (gilt) and copper, decorated with traditional Buddhism style. Mahakala is a fascinating figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly Tibetan Buddhism. Mahakala is primarily seen as a Dharmapala, a fierce protector of the Dharma (teachings of Buddha). He safeguards practitioners and Buddhist teachings from inner and outer obstacles. Unlike peaceful Buddhas, Mahakala is depicted with a wrathful appearance. He often has multiple limbs, a fierce expression, and stands on a corpse symbolizing his power over negativity.
