Seven Eyed Tibetan Goddess White Tara Statue - An Embodiment of Longevity and Compassion
This Seven Eyed Tibetan Goddess White Tara Statue is a finely crafted representation of White Tara, the revered female Buddha associated with longevity, compassion, and protection from suffering. Measuring 14.1”/36cm in height with an 11.0”/28cm base and weighing 4.26 kg, the sculpture is fashioned from a copper body and richly finished with 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully set gemstones. The radiant gilded surface highlights the intricate craftsmanship across White Tara’s crown, jewelry, garments, lotus pedestal, and ornamental details. Carefully placed gemstones embellish her crown, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, armlets, and other ornaments, while detailed acrylic painting defines her facial features and other fine elements. The combination of finely worked copper, 24K gold gilding, painted details, and gemstone adornment reflects the precision and dedication of traditional Himalayan metal sculpture.
White Tara is depicted in her characteristic peaceful form, seated upon a lotus throne with a serene expression that embodies compassion and calm awareness. Her most distinctive iconographic feature is her seven eyes: one on her forehead in addition to the two ordinary eyes, and one eye on each palm and each sole of the feet. These seven eyes symbolize her all-seeing awareness and her ability to perceive the needs and suffering of sentient beings in every direction. Her youthful face is framed by an elaborate jeweled crown and adorned with earrings, necklaces, bracelets, armlets, and other bodhisattva ornaments, while her dark hair is gathered into a high arrangement beneath the crown. Her right hand extends downward in the varada mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate assistance, while her left hand is raised near the heart and holds the stem of an utpala lotus that blossoms beside her shoulder. The lotus represents purity and awakened wisdom, emerging unstained while rooted in the world. Her peaceful seated posture, seven eyes, compassionate hand gestures, blossoming lotus, and richly adorned bodhisattva form identify White Tara and express her qualities of compassion, attentive awareness, protection, and the aspiration for long life.

White Tara (Sanskrit: Sitatara) originates in the Indian Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions and later became especially prominent in Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism. She is regarded as a compassionate manifestation of Tara and is closely associated with longevity, healing, protection, and the removal of obstacles. Her practices were transmitted from India into Tibet, where she became an important deity in long-life rituals and meditation traditions. In Tibetan Buddhism, she is especially revered for supporting health, extending life, and creating favorable conditions for continued spiritual practice.
