24K Gold-Plated White Tara Copper Sculpture | Sacred Tibetan Goddess of Longevity
This 24K Gold-Plated White Tara Copper Sculpture measures 12.9”/33cm in height with a 9.2”/23.5cm base and weighs 3.38 kg. Handcrafted in Nepal from a copper body, the sculpture is finished with 24K gold gilding and detailed acrylic painting that add luminosity, warmth, and definition to the carefully worked surface. The balanced proportions, precise metalwork, and meticulous hand-finishing reflect the skill of Nepalese artisans and the enduring traditions of Himalayan Buddhist craftsmanship. Spiritually, the figure is associated with compassion, healing, longevity, protection, and the creation of favorable conditions for continued spiritual practice.
This manifestation embodies compassion, purity, longevity, and protection from suffering. Seated gracefully in the posture of royal ease (lalitasana) upon a lotus throne, she keeps one leg folded in meditation while the other extends forward, expressing both inner stability and readiness to offer compassionate assistance. Her white complexion symbolizes purity, peace, and the clarity of enlightened awareness, while her distinctive seven eyes—three on the face and one on each palm and sole—represent all-seeing wisdom and compassionate awareness of the suffering of sentient beings. Her right hand extends in Varada Mudra, expressing generosity and compassionate blessings, while her left hand is raised near the heart holding an utpala lotus, symbolizing purity, wisdom, and spiritual awakening. Her jeweled crown, earrings, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, waist ornaments, anklets, celestial garments, and flowing scarves reflect her enlightened bodhisattva nature, while the lotus throne symbolizes purity arising above worldly conditions. Together, these sacred features represent compassionate protection, longevity, purification, and the cultivation of peaceful wisdom.
