A Tibetan Protector Figurine Green Tara Representing Compassion in Action
This Tibetan Protector Figurine Green Tara measures 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) in height, rests upon a 12-inch (30.5 cm) base, and weighs 8.26 kg. The sculpture is formed from a copper body and enriched with radiant 24K gold gilding, acrylic painting, and gemstone accents. Colored stones bring detail to the five-pointed crown, necklaces, robe borders, and lotus pedestal, while the gilded surface highlights the flowing scarves, delicately patterned garments, and the paired lotus stems rising beside her shoulders. Its large, richly ornamented form makes a striking focal point for a Buddhist altar, meditation room, or sacred art collection.
Green Tara is depicted seated in a relaxed royal posture, with one leg extended in readiness to rise and assist beings in need. Her right hand reaches downward in Varada Mudra, the gesture of generosity, compassion, and the granting of refuge. Her left hand is raised in a protective gesture associated with the Three Jewels: the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. She holds the stems of blue utpala lotuses, whose open and closed blossoms signify wisdom and compassion active throughout past, present, and future. As the female bodhisattva of swift action, Green Tara represents courageous protection from fear, obstacles, and suffering.

Green Tara, known as the "Mother of Liberation," is the principal female deity in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Born from a tear of Avalokiteshvara, she represents the active aspect of compassion and is sought for protection against the eight great fears. Her green hue symbolizes the element of air and the wind of enlightened activity, allowing her to manifest swiftly for the benefit of all sentient beings.
