For three generations the Shakya family has transformed copper, bronze, and silver into sacred representations of Buddhist deities and the ritual implements that accompany their practice.

What began in the courtyard workshops of Patan, the cradle of Newari metal-craft, now spans two studios and a welcoming showroom beside the great Boudhanath Stupa in Boudha.

Every piece is carved, chased, and finished by skilled artisans who apprentice for years under master sculptors and follow the precise canons of Traditional Shakya Art. We refuse shortcuts: only premium-grade alloys, ethically sourced gemstones, and hand-mixed mineral pigments make it onto our benches. Today Dev Handicraft carries that heritage forward—offering collectors worldwide the museum-level quality long cherished by Himalayan monasteries.
