Embrace Compassion with this Exquisite Buddhist Guardian Green Tara Sacred Sculpture
This Buddhist Guardian Green Tara Sacred Sculpture measures 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) in height, rests upon a 6.5-inch (16.5 cm) base, and weighs 1.51 kg. Its copper body provides the foundation for Tara’s graceful posture, peaceful facial expression, flowing garments, jeweled ornaments, and carefully sculpted lotus throne. The surface is enriched with 24K gold gilding, which highlights the refined contours and engraved details throughout the figure. Acrylic painting is precisely applied to define the eyes, facial features, hair, garments, and ornamental patterns without overwhelming the metalwork. Gemstones placed within the crown, jewelry, and pedestal complement the intricate craftsmanship. Its compact proportions make the sculpture suitable for a personal altar, meditation table, shrine cabinet, or collection of Himalayan Buddhist art.
Green Tara is represented in lalitasana, the posture of royal ease, with one leg drawn inward and the other extended forward. This posture expresses her readiness to rise immediately and assist beings whenever suffering or danger arises. Her right hand forms Varada Mudra, the gesture of generosity and blessing, symbolizing her compassionate response to prayers. Her left hand is raised near her heart in a gesture of refuge while holding the stem of an utpala lotus, representing purity, awakened wisdom, and compassionate activity. The lotus throne signifies freedom from worldly defilements, while her crown and ornaments identify her as an enlightened bodhisattva. Revered as the Swift Liberator, Green Tara protects practitioners from fear and obstacles while encouraging courage, compassion, and decisive action.
