Handmade Green Tara Sculpture | Radiant Mother of Compassion and Liberation
This Handmade Green Tara Sculpture measures 9.0”/23cm in height with a 7.6”/19.5cm base and weighs 1.92 kg. Handcrafted in Nepal from a copper body, the sculpture is enhanced with gold and acrylic painting, along with carefully placed gemstones that add color, contrast, and refined decorative detail to the surface. The balanced form, precise metalwork, and careful hand-finishing reflect the skill of Nepalese artisans and the enduring traditions of Himalayan Buddhist craftsmanship. Spiritually, the figure is associated with compassion, protection, swift assistance, courage, and the removal of obstacles, making this piece meaningful for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, Dharma centers, or sacred collections.
This Green Tara is depicted as a serene youthful Bodhisattva seated in lalitasana, the posture of royal ease, upon a lotus throne and moon disc. Her left leg is drawn upward while her right leg extends forward, expressing her readiness to rise and assist sentient beings. She has one peaceful face with two eyes and a calm, compassionate expression. Her right hand extends downward in varada mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate giving, while her left hand is raised near the heart in the gesture of refuge or instruction, holding the stem of an utpala, or blue lotus, that blossoms beside her shoulder. She is adorned with a five-jeweled crown representing the Five Buddha Families and Five Wisdoms, along with earrings, layered necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and flowing silk garments. Her youthful form, graceful posture, lotus attribute, sacred mudras, jeweled ornaments, and lotus throne together express the distinctive iconography of this statue.

Green Tara originates in Indian Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions and later became one of the most widely revered female figures in Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism. She is associated with active compassion, swift assistance, protection from fear, and the removal of obstacles. Her practice was transmitted from India into Tibet, where she became central to devotional and meditation traditions across several Buddhist schools. Spiritually, she represents compassionate action in immediate response to suffering and is often invoked for courage, protection, and support during difficult circumstances.
