The Radiance of the Seven Eyed Deity White Tara Sculpture
This Seven Eyed Deity White Tara Sculpture measures 17.7 inches (45 cm) in height, rests upon a 12-inch (30.5 cm) base, and weighs 7.73 kg. Crafted from a copper body, the figure is enriched with radiant 24K gold gilding, carefully applied acrylic painting, and gemstone accents. Turquoise and red stones enliven the crown, jewelry, lotus stems, robe borders, and layered lotus pedestal, while the gilded surface brings definition to the goddess’s face, flowing garments, and finely sculpted ornamentation. Its substantial presence makes it well suited to a Buddhist altar, meditation room, healing shrine, or sacred art collection.
White Tara is portrayed seated in vajra posture upon a lotus throne, embodying serenity, compassion, healing, and long life. She is known as the Seven-Eyed Tara because she traditionally has three eyes on her face, one eye in each palm, and one eye on the sole of each foot; these seven eyes represent her continual awareness of the suffering of sentient beings. Her right hand extends in Varada Mudra, the gesture of generosity and blessing, while her left hand is raised in a protective teaching gesture and holds the stem of an utpala lotus. The flowering lotuses beside her shoulders symbolize purity and the blossoming of wisdom, and her jeweled crown and ornaments express the enlightened qualities of a compassionate bodhisattva.

White Tara, known as Sitatara in Sanskrit, is a revered female bodhisattva in the Vajrayana tradition, associated with long life, healing, and the pacification of obstacles. She is distinguished from other forms of Tara by her white complexion, representing undifferentiated truth, and her seven eyes, which allow her to witness the needs of sentient beings in every realm. Practitioners often turn to her to cultivate wisdom and extend their lives for the purpose of serving others on the path to enlightenment.
