This Green Tara Prayer Altar Statue is meticulously handcrafted by skilled Nepali artisans, preserving the timeless traditions of Himalayan Buddhist craftsmanship. Standing 13.8 inches (35 cm) in height with an 11.6-inch (29.5 cm) base and weighing 3.82 kg, this elegant sculpture is expertly crafted from a copper body and richly adorned with radiant 24K gold gilding, vibrant acrylic painting, and carefully inlaid gemstones.

The statue portrays Green Tara seated gracefully in lalitasana (the posture of royal ease) upon a finely sculpted lotus throne, with her right leg extended to symbolize her readiness to swiftly respond to the prayers and needs of all beings, while her left leg remains folded in meditative composure. Her right hand is displayed in Varada Mudra, representing generosity and compassionate blessings, while her left hand is held in Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of teaching, delicately holding the stem of a blooming blue utpala lotus. She is adorned with an elaborate five-jeweled crown, elegant earrings, layered necklaces, armlets, bracelets, anklets, jeweled girdles, and flowing celestial garments embellished with radiant 24K gold gilding, colorful acrylic painting, and hand-set gemstones. Her serene expression, graceful posture, and exquisitely carved lotus pedestal showcase the remarkable artistry and precision of skilled Nepali artisans.
