This Buddha statue is seated on lotus base and has a distinctive parcel-gilt and silver-accented finish over dark metal alloy (probably bronze)  common in Himalayan metalwork, which highlights the patterns on the robes and lotus petal
The convex inner surfaces of the lotus leaves are thickly gilded. Because of their luster and warm, orange-gold hue, they give the impression of polished gemstones when viewed from a distance.
Vajrasattva is adorned as a bodhisattva prince with a five-leaf crown, long flowing hair tresses, elaborate necklaces, and earrings, representing the transformation of worldly pleasures into spiritual realisation.
Vajrasattva, known in Tibetan as Dorje Sempa, is the quintessential Buddha of purification, clarity, and the transmutation of negative karma
He sits in the full lotus position atop a double-lotus base. His right hand is held to his heart, cradling a vertical vajra (thunderbolt), which symbolizes the indestructible nature of ultimate reality and masculine skilful means. His left hand rests on his hip, holding a ghanta (bell) turned upward, symbolizing wisdom and the feminine void. Together, these two ritual items represent the perfect union of wisdom and compassion
