Green Tara 24K Gold Gilded Copper Holy Statue for Elevated Spiritual Practice
From the heart of Patan’s skilled artisans arises this magnificent green Tara, a 24K gold-gilded copper holy statue, a beacon of swift compassion. Standing at 33.5 cm (13.19”) in height with a 23 cm (9.06”) base, this substantial piece gracefully combines spiritual essence with refined artistry. Covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect, its solid copper body, meticulously formed, offers a tangible presence for devotion and contemplation. The statue’s radiant appeal makes it a focal point in any sacred space, reflecting profound spiritual decor.
This statue is a testament to the enduring lineage of Nepalese craftsmanship. Crafted from a pure copper core, it undergoes an intricate process involving repoussé and chasing to sculpt Green Tara’s graceful form. A luxurious three-layer application of 24K gold gilding creates a lasting, brilliant finish. Delicate gemstones, hand-set with precision, adorn her crown and jewelry. Fine acrylic paintings bring subtle color and detail to her features, enhancing the statue’s profound beauty and durability, making it an heirloom of Himalayan craftsmanship.
Green Tara’s iconic posture, her right leg extended, ready to spring into action, symbolizes her immediate response to suffering. Her right hand offers the mudra of supreme generosity, while her left holds the stem of a Utpala lotus, representing purity and power. Meditating with this sacred Buddhist art piece encourages practitioners to cultivate fearless compassion and overcome inner and outer obstacles, fostering spiritual growth and purification.
