Description
tibetan deity green tara golden sculpture - A Radiant Symbol of Swift Compassion
Handcrafted in Nepal, this Tibetan Deity Green Tara Golden Sculpture measures 5.5”/14cm in height, with a 4.5”/11.5cm base, and weighs 0.61 kg. The sculpture is formed from a copper body, carefully modeled to define Green Tara’s seated figure, lotus pedestal, crown, jewelry, garments, and flowing ornamental details. The surface is finished with 24K gold gilding, covering the figure, pedestal, ornaments, and finely modeled decorative elements with a radiant golden appearance. Acrylic painting is applied to selected details including the black hair, eyebrows, eyes, lips, and other fine facial features, creating definition and contrast against the gilded surface. The copper body provides the sculptural foundation, while the gold gilding and acrylic painting bring out the intricate details and traditional Himalayan craftsmanship of the statue.
Green Tara is depicted seated in her characteristic lalitasana, with her left leg drawn toward the body and her right leg extended forward from the lotus seat. Her right hand is lowered in Varada Mudra, with the palm facing outward, expressing generosity and compassionate activity, while her left hand is raised near the heart in a protective gesture, holding the stem of a lotus that rises beside her shoulder. The lotus blossoms represent purity and are an important attribute of Tara. She wears an elaborate crown, earrings, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and richly decorated garments characteristic of her peaceful bodhisattva form. Her calm facial expression and graceful seated posture complete the traditional iconographic representation of Green Tara, the compassionate female deity associated with swift compassionate activity.
