Yamāntaka, also known as Vajrabhairava in Tibet, is the "conquerer of death." or the "lord of death". He is the wrathful incarnation of Manjushri (the Bodhisattva of wisdom). The goal of any Buddhist is release from the cycle of samsara (birth and death) so by conquering death Yamantaka is thus achieving that goal on the path to enightenment so any practisioner must adopt the practice of Yamataka and conquer death.
Under this from he conquered the demon king of death, Yama, who was depopulating Tibet in his insatiable thirst for victims. According to this myth Manjushri traveled to the underworld to seek out Yama, the buffalo headed Hindu God of death. To tame Yama, Manjushri adopted the same form, adding to it eight other water buffalo faces and a multiple array of arms, each holding weapons. He also took on a multitude of legs. To confront death, Yamāntaka thus manifested the form of death itself, magnified to infinity. Yama saw himself endlessly mirrored back to himself, infinitely outnumbered. Death was literally scared to death. Thus the yogi who meditates through the imagery of Yamantaka intends and hopes to develop a sense of identity strong enough to face down death, and the fear that attends upon it. Each head, each limb, each attribute, symbol and ornament of Yamantaka expresses the total mobilization of the faculties of enlightenment needed for this ultimate confrontation.

Bronze statues from China do not need much maintenance. They are durable and strong! Most statues have black felt on the bottom of them to protect the surface they sit on. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. These statues are mostly small and meant for indoor use.
You can use a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
